‘Destiny 2’ expansion ‘Curse of Osiris’ comes to all platforms December 5

If you’ve already finished Destiny 2‘s campaign, waded through the Leviathan raid, and maxed your power level out, you may be wondering what you should be doing in the shared-world shooter besides duking it out in the Crucible on loop. Thankfully, the first expansion isn’t far away. During Sony’s Paris Games Week press conference, Bungie revealed that Curse of Osiris arrives December 5 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The title of the first expansion has been known since right after the game launched in September, but the reveal trailer provided ample context. The new story concerns Osiris, a banished Vanguard member, and the planet Mercury. Narrated by Ikora, the trailer describes how while you were finishing the campaign, “past and future” machines funneled through an ancient gate to build a formidable army strong enough to restructure the entire universe to their liking. Now it’s up to you, Guardian, to head to Mercury and stop the invasion.

While on Mercury, you will seek out Osiris, the mysterious character who once predicted this very event, but was kicked out of the Vanguard for his troubling thoughts. While the reasons for his banishment are still murky at best (he was mentioned several times in the original, but never seen), Ikora offers a tantalizing bit of knowledge — it remains to be seen if Osiris will serve as a helping hand or be the cause of defeat.

To gain access to the expansion, users can purchase the Destiny 2 expansion pass for $35. The pass includes both Curse of Osiris and a yet-to-be-revealed second expansion which is expected to launch next spring. While stand-alone pricing has not been revealed, if Bungie follows the pattern set by the original game’s first two expansions, Curse of Osiris will likely cost $20 (Destiny‘s initial expansion pass was also $35).

As with the original game, Destiny 2 is a constantly evolving experience. Bungie recently announced that it would add private matches to the Crucible in early 2018.

If you want to prepare for the expansion but haven’t yet completed the Leviathan raid, make sure to check out our complete walkthrough. If the Crucible is more your style, Trials of the Nine, which was suspended for two weeks due to a emote glitch that let players slip through some walls, will return on November 3 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

oneplus nord ce 2 5g release date news camera teaser

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G will get its official unveiling on February 17, and the company has circulated a teaser showing the rear camera module to build anticipation, plus it has revealed a few key facts from the spec sheet. The Nord CE 2 5G is the sequel to the Nord CE, released in June 2021, which provided great mid-range device value.

What about the Nord CE 2 5G? The teaser image shows a very different camera module to the first Nord CE. This time it’s a rectangular shape and houses two cameras and two smaller apertures, potentially for another camera and a flash, or a flash and an additional sensor for focusing. The Nord CE had three cameras -- a 64-megapixel main, an 8MP wide-angle, and a 2MP monochrome camera.

All new features coming in the Minecraft Caves and Cliffs 2 update

When it originally launched, or even before that during the lengthy early access period, Minecraft was already effectively an endless game. You could build, craft, fight, and transform the world for as long as your creativity, free time, and patience allowed. Heck, you could even run in a single direction and never hit a wall. But Mojang wasn't satisfied with that, and over the years has only added more content to this already limitless game. We've gotten new animals, environments, weapons, monsters, systems, and everything in between to add yet more depth to this insanely popular game.

We already got a giant update in the Caves and Cliffs addition, but the second part of it is fast approaching. This update, also known as 1.18, will complete the pair and add in plenty of new changes that will impact the entire Minecraft world. There's a lot to look forward to in this coming update, but also a few things missing, so if you want to plan out how to tackle all the new content, here are all the new features coming in the Minecraft Caves and Cliffs 2 update.

All PS5 games that support 120 fps: Destiny 2, Fortnite, and more

PlayStation 5 is an incredibly powerful console, capable of running today's most demanding games in 4K without ever skipping a beat. Whether you're playing a PS5 exclusive like Deathloop or taking advantage of a next-gen upgrade, there's no doubt you'll be in for a visual feast.

Beyond ray tracing and fancy graphics, however, several games take advantage of PS5's processing power to run at 120 fps. Not all games support the feature -- in fact, the full list of supported titles is rather short -- but there's no doubt it's one of the coolest next-gen options available on Sony's latest console.
