The recent flurry of Destiny 2 headlines continued Friday, thanks to a new round of glitch-delayed content, but there was some good news in the mix this weekend. Destiny 2 players might not have as much to do on Saturday and Sunday, since Trials of the Nine has been put on ice, but they will at least have a new documentary to enjoy in the interim.
Trials of the Nine has been one of the most popular weekend activities in Destiny 2 , thanks in part to a trophy tied to the PvP mode. But fans must wait two weeks before they’ll get another opportunity to “meet” the mysterious Emissary of The Nine awaiting anyone with a perfect win record. Bungie’s weekly update says the studio put the PvP mode on ice after a recent addition to the Eververse Trading Company’s emote inventory inadvertently let Destiny 2 players access areas of the map that weren’t meant to be explored. In most cases, players are just clipping in and out of walls scattered throughout the game. But the glitch could theoretically enable the discovery of unfinished content, as we saw semi-frequently with Destiny 1.
The latest update on Destiny 2 continues a parade of headlines on Bungie’s latest shooter. A glitch in Leviathan forced the studio to delay the prestige version of the game’s first raid, only to watch a clan utilize a different exploit to finish the harder version. The wall glitch that derailed Trials of the Nine also forced Bungie to pull a new emote that pays tribute to Monty Python.
It hasn’t all been bad news. The studio also published a content timeline for the upcoming PC port ahead of its Oct. 24 debut, and preloading is underway on Battle.net. The BBC also published a behind-the-scenes documentary on Destiny 2 ’s creation. But October has been a rough month for the shared-world shooter, which has seen its daily player count drop significantly in recent weeks.
For a quick reminder of how much better the Battle.net version of Destiny 2 will look, check out the shooter’s PC launch trailer. Then head down to the comments and let us know if you’re excited to see the Destiny franchise finally make the jump to PC.
Destiny 2 is currently available on PS4 and Xbox One. The game hits PC on Oct. 24.
