Destiny 2 Showcase, Bungie Reveal

The official description for this week’s Destiny 2 Showcase is as follows:

“It has arrived. As we prepare for fate to unfold, the people of the Last City look to the stars—to us—for hope.

“And while we have triumphed in the face of impossible odds before, this time feels different. But if there is to be no escape, our story will be one of courage; one of legends. Join us, Guardians, and witness the next chapter in Destiny 2.

“In case you’ve been living under a Cabal drop ship, our upcoming Showcase is bringing the noise on August 23, where we’ll be showing you a first look at what’s next in exciting detail. The festivities will be going down over on Twitch through official Bungie channels. Even better? There will be localization options for our global players. Here’s what you need to know.”

First Destiny 2 Twitch Drops

Bungie has also announced that it will introduce new Destiny 2 Twitch Drops during the upcoming Showcase for those Guardians who choose to watch it on that platform. To be eligible, you’ll need to make sure your Twitch account is linked with your Destiny 2 account.

With the Destiny 2 Lightfall release date looming, we’re expecting things to start ramping up in the Destiny universe. Season 17 saw us finally meet The Witness, the Black Fleet leader who caused a number of the game’s planets to disappear before the Beyond Light expansion.

Destiny 2 Season 18 PvP

For Season 18, Bungie is revolutionizing its multiplayer PvP gameplay. Season 18 will add another new Iron Banner mode called Eruption which plays like Clash, with more energy based on killstreaks.
