As part of the released documentation ahead of today’s Activision-Blizzard investors’ meeting, it has been revealed that Destiny has added five million new accounts since the end of Q2 2015, bringing the total number of accounts to twenty-five million. It remains to be seen how many are active, but players taking part are logging three hours per day on average.

Destiny was updated earlier today with a significant patch that brings, among many other things, microtransactions into the game. Players will be able to meet Tess Everis to grab hold of some pretty cool emotes that are only available for real-world currency.

My relationship with Destiny is complicated. On one hand, it would only take a subtle prodding to get me to unleash a violent torrent of criticisms and resentment towards a game that was so obviously a shell of its true potential. On the other hand, I had sunk more time into it than I would ever care to admit in front of polite company. And so, Destiny made me a walking hypocrite.

Bungie is popping the champagne corks in celebration of the record breaking Day 1 downloads of Destiny: The Taken King. Additional bottles have been ordered to further toast the new benchmark record for both total players and peak online concurrency after The Taken King shattered last year’s Destiny release.

Destiny players have a lot to look forward to with today’s release of The Taken King expansion. The expansion will bring new challenges, weapons, enemies and adventures to players around the world. In addition, players can check out the King’s Fall raid when it goes live on Friday, September 18th at 10:00 am Pacific / 1:00 pm Eastern.

I wasn’t overly fond of Destiny when it launched last year. I enjoyed the tight FPS controls on my PS4, but the hackneyed story, the repetitive progression, and the overall disjointed feeling of so many long loading screens between everything eventually pushed me away. But I recently came back, and this time I think I might stay for a while…

Bungie has partnered with 72andSunny, Digital Domain, and RESET to create a special live-action trailer for next week’s Destiny expansion launch of The Taken King. The film was directed by Tron director Joseph Kosinski and features "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin.

With the deployment of the Destiny 2.0 patch earlier this week, the game underwent significant changes. Change, however, can sometimes bring issues, something that Bungie has acknowledged is happening to players. The site has been updated with a list of known issues affecting some players and further told the community that the team is hard at work to get these issues solved as quickly as possible.
