Choices in video games, rarely pay off. The consequences attached to going against the grain usually feel lacklustre and insubstantial. Where’s the payoff? I don’t want a character who looks slightly more demonic than usual, I want a reflection of the compromises that I’ve made to be reflected in short-term gains that I’ve gone for.

An idea that came from extending Final Fantasy XV for as long as possible.

On May 8, Destiny 2 kicks off a third season of action that has one goal in mind: pleasing its fans who are starving for new content. Here’s a quick rundown of just some of the content that Bungie was keen to show off.
