Today's article in their month long coverage summarizes the story of the base game and both expansions, as well as the lore you can only find in the Grimoire (and there may even be a few hints about story to come).

The Game Informer Show Discusses Playing The Taken King

To prepare for their coverage of The Taken King this month, Game Informer went to Bungie to play The Taken King for more than a day. The Game Informer Show (GI's podcast) discusses their experiences with the expansion and what they think of the upcoming content. It has good variety of opinions from someone who has played over 700 hours, to someone that didn't even finish the original campaign. Go see what they thought:

Legendary Weapons Not Going Forward

doom.pngKidtsunami was first in our forum with the Game Informer article revealing that Year One Legendary weapons will not be able to ascend to Year Two standards. Start saying your goodbyes - but also start preparing for some "genuinely novel shooting experiences".

Dinklage Is Out; Nolan Is In

ghost.png

When The Taken King launches, you won't be hearing Peter Dinklage as your Ghost anymore - even if you start the game over. Nolan North (who Bungie fans will remember as Romeo from ODST) is not only recording the dialogue for your Ghost for the forseen future, but also re-recording all of the previous lines by Dinklage as well. (CougRon was first on our forum in reporting this huge news from Game Informer.)

Destiny Levels Up... Differently This Time!

Destiny's Year One is about to leave behind levels associated with your gear. Game Informer says it well:

Players earn XP by killing monsters, completing missions, and turning in bounties, as has always been the case, but that experience now feeds directly into your level progression all the way from 1 to the new level cap of 40."

The article also touches on a revision to the loot-drop system: it will now check your existing gear so you won't keep seeing repeats and more. (Thanks Speed.)

Taken King Takes Game Informer

Destiny's new expansion will be this month's cover article for Game Informer. They'll be teasing out all the tidbits they learned from Bungie as time goes on at this hub page. We'll hit the highlights here in a moment, but just from their cover-reveal article once can gleam a number of things (as Speedracer513 points out), like new in-game cutscenes!

Raiding your Friend's List

Let's catch up with some older news - there's some good stuff floating around the interwebs! Luke Smith posted a note on NeoGAF that is worth reading, if you're one of the people who've wondered about how Raids in Destiny will work - and wondered why Bungie has made it clear that you will need to put your own team together for a Raid. (At least at this stage, we've been told that the Raid will not be accessible via Matchmaking.)

That barrier to entry - the requirement that you get a group of people together and venture into something that is going to challenge your ability to work together (first) and your thumbs (second) - is a barrier I was willing to erect to preserve the activity goals.

I appreciate a developer who is willing to make decisions that don't cater to the bottom line, solely - it's refreshing! (Raid icon comes from OverwatchGraphics - definitely explore.)

The Know's Destiny Week: Building a 10-Year Universe

Ashley Jenkins and The Know has their final installment of Destiny Week online - it's a look at the world Bungie's building that they're hoping you'll be living in for the next 10 years. An intriguing quote from Jesse Van Dijk, explaining why a particular image from early concept art didn't make it into the final game:

"What we see there is not really indicative of something that says 'Hey, this is humanity that went through 700 years of sped up evolution.' ...and we need it to."

This is a nice little insight into what the Traveler has done to mankind in its time above our planet! Go watch the rest. Thanks, Xenos.
