This Week At Bungie – 12/09/2021

This week at Bungie, we’re celebrating our 30th anniversary!

As you may have noticed, we held back a lot of what we had planned for 30th. There were a lot of questions about when the trailer would go live, but we saved it until just a few hours before launch to keep the spoilers to a minimum and the surprise and delight at max volume. If you haven’t got a chance to watch it or just want to rewatch it because it’s really awesome, here you go!

There is cool content to buy with the pack, but everyone is able to participate, with plenty of free content to go around.

Bungie CEO apologises after damning report about toxic studio culture

On Friday, a report into Bungie's work culture unearthed allegations of racism, sexism, discrimination, toxic leadership and more besides. Current and former employees of the Destiny developers claim they've experienced "overt sexism, boys' club culture, crunch, and HR protection of abusers, as well as more complex stories of microaggressions, systemic inequalities, and difficulties in being heard". CEO Pete Parsons has since issued an apology "on behalf of everyone at Bungie", acknowledging that the studio needs to listen to these accounts, and do better.

IGN published an in-depth investigation on December 10 into Bungie's alleged workplace culture of harassment. A particular focus of the report was the conditions the narrative team worked under, including the "boys club culture" and continual periods of crunch: And now, a popular Destiny content creator who has also spent time as a Bungie contractor has added his tale to the pile...

Destiny 2 players are soaring through the sky with the new Eager Edge trait

The Destiny 2 community is having a lot of fun as of late thanks to the new Eager Edge trait found in 30th anniversary pack swords. With this trait, players are able to soar huge distances across the sky, which is proving to be not only a great PvE speedrunning strategy, but a fun way of closing the distance in PvP, too.

Here’s how it works. With either the Half Truths or The Other Half swords, which were newly added to the game as part of the 30th anniversary update, each weapon has a chance to have the Eager Edge trait built in. This trait provides increased lunge distance immediately after switching to the sword.

As such, players who quickly switch to the sword, lunge, then switch back to their other guns during the lunge animation get to maintain the momentum that trait provides. This allows them to surge forward massive distances, and is something all classes can make use of.

Лидером очередного недельного чарта Steam по объему выручки от продаж стала одиночная кампания шутера Halo Infinite от студии 343 Industries и издательства Xbox Game Studios. Вторая и третья позиции остались за предзаказом Deluxe-издания Destiny 2: Королева-ведьма + набор к 30-летию Bungie и непосредственно самим набором соответственно.
