Cross Save support is coming to Destiny 2 later this month, Bungie announced yesterday, letting players carry characters and their items between PC, Xbone, and PS4 editions. Perhaps you’ve wished you were playing on another platform but didn’t want to start over, or you just want to join up with some pals. Come to PC, friends. While I suppose you could also use this to take a PC character to console, why would you many guns literally work worse? Yes, come to PC. Our handcannons aim straight and our menus load quickly.

At the heart of The Dreaming City lies Riven, a vast wish-granting dragon who created this unreal world through will alone but has now been corrupted by- wait, never mind, she’s been punched to death in under two seconds. Alright Guardians, next mission: inside the walls of Earth’s last standing city, aliens who lost everything when their spaceorb made us its new best friends have built a giant mech which will soo- nup, also knocked out in seconds. Never mind. A hot new novelty build is doing the rounds in Destiny 2, seeing players beat bosses to death with their fists faster than any gun could kill them.

Imagine: you’re invited to the Met Gala and the theme is ‘Haunted Moon’. You know Rihanna will be a stunning spectacle. You concede you cannot beat Celine Dion’s glimmer or gags. You assume Marilyn Manson will do some gory ‘Le Voyage Dans La Lune’ lark with a model rocket stuck in his oozing eye. It’s a given that Kanye West will flout convention and wear jeans. If you really want to stand out with ‘haunted moon’ couture, mate, you couldn’t do much better than some of the astonishing armour coming when Destiny 2 returns to our haunted moon in the Shadowkeep expansion.

Destiny 2‘s gearing up for a big year. A huge year, really. Maybe the biggest one it’s had to date. But that year of bigness will now start a little later, because Bungie are delaying Destiny 2’s free-to-play relaunch, New Light, and its next expansion, Shadowkeep. Previously due on September 17th, they’re now both lined up for October 1st. Bungie say they wanted a touch more development time and hey, they can give themselves that time now that they’re out from under Activision.

Somewhere above the clouds over Europe, powered by spacemagic, a few ruined city blocks and a whole load of rocks are hovering as a new playground for Earth’s greediest heroes. This is the European Aerial Zone, host to a new cooperative mode in Destiny 2‘s Solstice Of Heroes event, which started last night and runs for a month. I adore the EAZ as a playground, leaping from rooftop to rooftop or barrelling through maze-like interiors while hunting bosses and treasure. It is a good place. So it’s baffling that the wider Solstice Of Heroes event offers rewards which strongly incentivise not> playing the mode.
