When you've sunk literally thousands of hours into playing a game, and voraciously consume every piece of rumour and speculation about it, you're unlikely to be blindsided by any one particular piece of news. But that's exactly what happened yesterday, when to the surprise of pretty much everyone Bungie announced it was saying sayonara to its eight-year relationship with Activision, and would be going it alone as the self-publisher of Destiny, effective pretty much immediately.

Destiny 2 is a game that’s all about grinding for gear, and the latest Nightfall strike offered the D.F.A. as a reward. It’s one of the best hand cannons in the game, and fans were pretty excited about playing the strike until one dropped for them. Heck, one of our writers played for hours and wrote an exasperated post about how the gun probably didn’t exist as a reward.

Unlike the original game, Destiny 2 is coming to PC. We’ve played it on PC in all its 4K glory, and the PC port of Destiny 2 is a thing of beauty. It’s a smoother experience on PC than on console (courtesy of 60fps on 4K screens, with the option for unlocked frame-rates on non-4K screens), and for PC aficionados, pulling off headshots is a breeze thanks to mouse aiming.

Destiny 2 players on PC will have to install the Blizzard launcher if they wish to play the game. Announced today during the Destiny 2 livestream, Activision-Blizzard will skip using Announced today during the Destiny 2 livestream, Activision-Blizzard will skip using Steam for the PC version, as it has opted to make use of its service formerly known as Battle.net instead.
