Delve into The Dark Below with the opening cinematic for Destiny’s first add-on

Add as a preferred source on Google

Someone leaked the opening cinematic for The Dark Below, the first downloadable content expansion for Bungie’s massively multiplayer shooter Destiny, which comes out on December 9. In the video you meet Eris, a central figure of the new expansion and the quest-giver for the new story content.

Eris is the sole survivor of an expedition into the Moon’s Hellmouth, where they encountered a Hive entity named Crota, the big bad of The Dark Below. The main story is divided into three quests: “The Dark Below” introduces you to Eris and lets you prove your worth to her. “Ritual of Sacrifice” brings you down into the Hellmouth and its sacrificial chambers. Finally, “Fist of Crota” brings you face to face with the potential threat to Earth that is gathering power deep beneath the Moon’s surface.

The expansion also has a variety of bounties, a new Strikes, exotic gear, and a new six-player raid, most of which centers again around Eris and the Hellmouth. The Dark Below arrives on December 9 for all platforms.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions
Claude can still help develop original games, but copying existing titles is now off the table.

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
