Read our full Destiny review.

Bungie’s Destiny launches a new chapter for the former Halo studio on September 9, and this new trailer takes a broad look at what’s to come when the game hits PlayStation and Xbox consoles. The two-minute look is heavy on gameplay — PlayStation 4 footage — and light on depth. As the trailer’s “EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW” title suggests, the idea here is to give a sense of the full picture.

The sense that we get here is of massively multiplayer Halo-y game. It’s impossible to escape comparisons with Bungie’s earlier effort being that they’re both sci-fi settings. There’s definitely something more chaotic about what we’ve seen of Destiny so far, however. Lots and lots of players piling into a shared space, taking their shared aggressions out on armies of jerk aliens.

We’ll be seeing plenty more of the game soon, what with E3 just a few weeks away. This new trailer should tide you over until then. And don’t forget: there’s still an opportunity to check out the game early in its planned beta.

Artificial intelligence is often blamed for making people less social. Whether it's AI replacing conversations, reducing teamwork, or making gaming feel less human, the narrative has largely remained the same. But a new study suggests the opposite could also be true. In fact, AI might be quietly encouraging people to spend more time with their friends.

Researchers studying PUBG: Battlegrounds have found that introducing AI-controlled opponents into multiplayer matches didn't isolate players. Instead, it made them more confident, kept them playing longer, and even encouraged them to squad up with friends more often. The findings, which will appear in the journal Information Systems Research, offer an interesting perspective on how AI can improve user experiences rather than simply automating them.
