Read Bungie’s full weekly update here. [divider] This week at Bungie, we set out on a vital scouting mission. When I say “we,” what I really mean is “Me and Urk.” Our destination was England, for some strategic ops – a needlessly fancy way of describing a series of big meetings. The who, the where, and the why are best kept secret, for now. Suffice to say, we’re assembling a global coalition that will help us launch this game. Our adventure began on Super Bowl Sunday. While the rest of Seattle enjoyed a multiplayer game of epic proportions, Team Bungie

Read Bungie’s full Weekly Update here. [divider] This week at Bungie, we gained a fresh perspective. We welcomed friends, old and new, to visit our studio. We palavered. We broke bread. We played a ton of Destiny. This is a rarity, of course – a perk reserved for partners who have joined us on this adventure. Before we launch, we have a lot of ground to cover, and many, many stories to tell. Just like this lone Titan, our chances of success increase exponentially when we choose the right allies and arm them with the gear they’ll need to get

They are also bigger and tougher than their Goblin counterparts. Learn more about the different enemy classes here.

Read Bungie’s full Weekly Update here [divider] This week at Bungie, I hunted Cabal. At the end of a long day, Pete Parsons strode into my corner of the studio with a call to arms. “I want to play a Strike.” he said, “Who’s with me?” “I’m in!” OJ said. Then their gaze fell on me. I killed a browser window and gave an eager nod. Just like that, we found ourselves planting footprints in the sands of Mars. After weeks of playtest, and untold hours devoted to progressing over the winter break, our Guardians had become deadly. Clad in armored raiment

Read Bungie’s full weekly update here. [divider] This week at Bungie, we got back to work. And so it was that 2013 gasped its last breath like a Cabal Centurion in the desperate throes of a Nova Bomb overdose. While that went down, we were dark. Our studio was silent. Of all the indulgences that spice the holiday season, our favorite was a heaping helping of our most valuable resource: Time. To close out an action-packed year of developments and revelations, we took some precious time to recharge our batteries. Our understanding of the rigors that await us in the year
