Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Today, Bungie shared a small video developer update for their upcoming extraction shooter based on the sci-fi Marathon IP. New Game Director Joe Ziegler (who previously worked on The Saboteur at Pandemic and Valorant at Riot) talked a bit about how the game is going to work: We give you a lot of different tools to do a lot of different things inside the game. There is a ton of loot that you can find: weapons, equipment that you can equip that changes your stats or tweaks some of the things that you can do inside the game. There are […]
Marathon was originally supposed to arrive this year. Instead, Bungie’s new sci-fi extraction shooter was delayed until 2025 and still hasn’t reemerged with new gameplay since its initial PlayStation Showcase reveal. At least now, however, we do have ...
Destiny 2 players are convinced the game is secretly ripping them off. While on its face an epic space opera about humanity confronting cosmic evil in a post-apocalyptic future, Bungie’s sci-fi shooter is also a Pokémon-style collectathon where instea...
From the moment it was announced that Netflix had hired a team of former Blizzard, Bungie and Sony developers to create a AAA game, it felt too likely that little or nothing would come of it. Non-gaming companies deciding to try to grab a slice of the ...
Rumored to have been in development for years in or around an increasingly fractured Bungie, Destiny: Rising has been a poorly kept secret for the last couple of months. But now it’s official, with NetEase announcing the mobile game today, and the firs...
When Disco Elysium came onto the scene in 2019 it completely shook up RPG storytelling, spearheading new ways to immerse players and build worlds. Surely it was just the start of something new, bold, and exciting. Instead, things got very messy, very q...
Destiny 2 has since switched to episodic content to try and make the game more successful after the latest expansion release failed to sell as well as they had hoped. As a result, Bungie has made the choice to switch up their technique entirely, now making all content released episodic, with three episodes being announced by the company. The first episode, Echoes, was released in June, and the second episode, Revenant, is beginning to be released this month. Act 1 of Destiny 2's Revenant has been released, but players quickly find themselves unhappy. Revenant is adding a lot of new […]
It’s been two weeks since Sony announced it was taking the unprecedented step of unreleasing Concord and almost as long since the ill-fated, sci-fi hero shooter was officially taken offline. In the time since, Kotaku understands that developers at Fire...
Marathon, Bungie's new project, supposedly targets a $40 launch price. Marathon is an upcoming PvP extraction shooter originally revealed in May 2023. Sources have reportedly spoken to The Game Post about the upcoming title and that they're considering a $40 launch price for Marathon. This suggests that Bungie is opting for the game to be a pay-to-play premium model rather than free-to-play with microtransactions, as seen in plenty of current games, including their well-known Destiny 2. Recently, Bungie and Sony have discussed Marathon's pricing strategy and how they will approach it. Conversations and an extended dialogue likely happened once Sony's […]
This week, nothing drove more conversation in gaming circles than the official reveal of the PlayStation 5. Sure, people have strong feelings about its specs, and whether the added power it brings to the table will meaningfully improve your gaming expe...
Bungie recently landed in hot water, not too long after they announced their plans for Destiny 2's future, and the expansion roadmap that players can expect. However, in their announcement, they also mentioned a new gun that players can use in real life. The gun is the NERF Ace of Spades and features art from Tofu Rabbit, who wasn't previously credited for their design. Bungie and Hasbro teamed up to create a real-life NERF version of one of the most famous Destiny 2 guns, but they somehow managed to steal a fan artist's nine-year-old work instead of coming up with […]
This week marks the ten-year anniversary of Destiny, a game that accidentally became my whole personality when it launched back in September of 2014. I’ve loved it since the days of its alpha tests and I still love it now, in the form of Destiny 2. Som...
Vampire Survivors draws tons of inspiration from Castlevania, so it is no surprise that the new Ode To Castlevania DLC is fantastic. I’m here to guide you through unlocking each Hero and evolving each weapon, because that’s how you’ll end up accessing ...
