THIS WEEK AT BUNGIE – 8/26/2021
This week at Bungie... Where do we even begin?
Tuesday was a big day. Really big. So big, in fact, that a little bit of the news ended up slipping into Wednesday. Many of you were tuned in to watch every detail as it was revealed, but there was a lot to cover. Let’s do a quick recap for the New Lights out there. Yes, you’re about to read an onslaught of links, but we couldn’t possibly cover everything without this turning into something that looks like patch notes:
As for quality-of-life improvements for our PvP players out there, we have some fun news on the Security front, and for Trials as well!
We’ve given you all plenty to read and there’s still quite a bit to discuss over the next few months.
Let’s start with some expectation setting, shall we? During the Destiny 2 Showcase, we spoke of reworks coming to all Light-based subclasses in Destiny 2. While we showed you a small glimpse of gameplay, we thought it would be nice to talk through what that rework really means.

- There’s too much info to sum up in a few bullets. Hit our product page for more!
- Season of the Lost is live, and a tale of two queens has begun.
- Cross Play is live, bringing Guardians together no matter which platform they play on.
- We’ve also announced our 30th Anniversary, including the return of Gjallarhorn, a new six-player activity, and more!

- We’ve announced our partnership with BattlEye Anti-Cheat, and begun our soft launch of new security improvements to Destiny 2.
- As we collect data and strengthen our detections, we appreciate all players who continue to report potential cheaters to our contact form here.
- We’ve also announced updates to our Security Policies, touching on things like win-trading and account recoveries in competitive environments.

- Trials will be on a short hiatus until September 10, so read up if you haven’t gotten the chance.
