In celebration of the Moon landing's 50th anniversary tomorrow (and Destiny 2: Shadowkeep's release in September), Bungie has provided our best look yet at its upcoming revamped Moon location.

This is the Moon area from Destiny 1 but now twice the size. Its main feature is its titular red Shadowkeep castle, which looks like something out of Mordor.

But here we can also see familiar areas such as the Archer's Line Accelerator and the Hellmouth, which have gained new nooks and crannies to explore. That Fallen ketch added in House of Wolves, too. Expect Destiny 2's Lost Sectors to expand all of these.

Don't call Stadia Pro "Netflix for games", Google has insisted. Instead, it's more like Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus.

"To be clear, Stadia Pro is not 'Netflix for Games' like some people have mentioned," Doronichev replied.

Destiny 2 Moments of Triumph is a series of challenges designed to wrap up the many activities in the second year of Bungie's space shooter sequel.

Players of the original Destiny will be familiar with how it works. By completing these challenges - some of which tasking you with the toughest activities - you can earn exclusive rewards, both in-game and out, including the chance to purchase an exclusive T-shirt and, for the first time, a Seal to adorn your Guardian with.

The structure is much the same as last year, though each Triumph is weighted the same, giving you a little more freedom to play how you like.

Bungie has shown off more of Destiny 2's new moon location - and there's more than a whiff of Mordor about it.

The moon location, which played a major role in Destiny 1, returns in Destiny 2 expansion Shadowkeep. And at the ongoing GuardianCon event, Bungie revealed a new video that gives us our best look yet at the destination.

Mordor is the first place that springs to mind while watching the video. There are lots of dark and creepy places, gothic architecture and spiky towers. There are big black gates, imposing walls and steps - lots of steps - that lead up to strange portals with spheres hovering inside them. And then there's the Shadowkeep itself, a tall tower that overlooks the cracking surface of the moon below.

Bungie has pushed back plans to nerf Destiny 2's overpowered Lord of Wolves shotgun in order to "preserve work-life balance" for the development team.

In an attempt to address prior balancing issues, a tweak to the Lord of Wolves has instead inadvertently made it deadly in competitive PvP multiplayer instead.

Acknowledging the issue in a recent Bungie update, creative director Luke Smith admitted "the most recent changes to Lord of Wolves created a monster" and the team is looking to reduce the damage resistance later this year. Right now, however, the issue "didn't rise up to meet the bar of 'this is broken enough to turn it off in all activities'".
