This week at Bungie, we revealed Cayde’s fate.

If you want to remain spoiler-free, you should stop reading now and not look at the internet until September 4. As many of you already know, we gave you a glimpse of beloved Hunter Vanguard Cayde-6’s final moments earlier this week.

We told you that Forsaken is taking a darker tone and has a Western revenge vibe. It looks as if many of you have taken it upon yourselves to avenge Cayde. In September, you'll get your chance to hunt down the Barons, confront Uldren, and make him answer for his crimes.

The away team has been on the ground at E3 giving out new information on Forsaken and letting players get their hands on our new game mode, Gambit. Speaking of Gambit, we have a new trailer showing off this competitive co-op experience.

A lot of excited players have stopped by the booth to get their hands on Gambit for the first time. Here are a few photos documenting the action.

Cool pictures are not the only thing coming out of E3. We also cleared up questions on Year 1 weapons moving forward whenlaunches.has more details on how Forsaken players will be able to infuse Year 1 gear up to max Power

That's not all. We also have a new developer insight video that dives into the behind-the-scenes making of the bow. You can watch it in Game Informer's Deep Dive on Destiny 2: Forsaken’s New Bow

Play Your Way









Design Lead Josh Hamrick shared his team’s goals for the new system and a little more info on how it works. You caught your first glimpse of the weapon slot changes in our ViDoc , and there is gameplay footage of Gambit coming out of E3 showing how the new system will work. Our very ownshared his team’s goals for the new system and a little more info on how it works.





Josh: Hey everybody, I wanted to stop by for a second and provide just a bit of information regarding the new weapon slot system. We know many of you want the D1-style system back. Many of you have also asked us to keep the D2 model. We want to deliver something you all want, but we also want to surprise and delight you while moving the game forward. Ultimately, we want to give you something better than anything you’ve seen yet. More Choice and Deeper Customization The top two slots (quick slots) have more freedom than ever, allowing you to carry unique sets of Primary & Special Weapons. When paired with the appropriate Exotic, crazy load outs like the 3 Shotty build I mentioned in the ViDoc are possible… and freaking awesome. Balanced with Ammo Uptime for your weapons is balanced by how often you can get your hands on the right ammo. Tuned to be very similar to D1, uptime works out as follows: (most to least) Primary (White) then Special (Green) and then finally, Heavy (Purple). Primary Ammo is useless while running the 3 Shotty loadout, which takes a combination of Special and Heavy ammo —and finding yourself completely dry means it’s time to get your hands dirty. Godspeed, space puncher. Perfect for Roles Whether it be for raids, trials and comp, or the brand new, incredibly awesome, and (in my opinion) pinnacle Destiny sandbox activity, Gambit, the new weapon system shines at allowing incredible flexibility and customization so you and your team can strategize and build your way to greatness. Momma always said, “Loadout for the job you want.” I promise you’re going to get more, very specific details soon(tm) alongside a TON of additional Forsaken information.
