Bungie has announced some exciting new events coming to Destiny in the next few weeks, making good on its promise to deliver endgame content for those players that grabbed the game at its September 9 release and proceeded to immediately fight their way to the game’s level 20 cap.

This weekend, September 12 to 14, you can take part in the intense, 3v3 battles of Salvage. Struggle for control over valuable relics on small and medium maps for the promise of Crucible gear, marks, and reputation. Starting on September 16, advanced guardians will be able to open the Vault of Glass, a level 26 raid deep beneath the surface of Venus, where terrible forces are stirring. Later in September, you will be able to pilot the machines of war in Combined Arms and face the Queen’s Wrath, which have been teased with few details. October will bring the chance for bloody glory under the Iron Banner.

The developer promises even more surprises in the coming weeks, including the arrival of mysterious characters at The Tower and a greater frequency of Public Events springing up in popular locations.

We’ve been greatly enjoying Destiny so far, and will share a full review by next week after diving into the endgame content.

Denuvo maker Irdeto targets the video game industry’s leak problem with new tech
Someone plays a game using Irdeto's TraceMark techonlogy.

Irdeto, the company behind the controversial Denuvo DRM utilized in many PC games, just announced a new technology meant to combat game content leaks in the video game industry.

Called TraceMark for Gaming, Irdeto describes the technology as a "watermarking solution" that adds visible and invisible identifiers to game content and can trace leaked content to its source. It's something the company already uses to watermark movies, sports broadcasts, and TV shows. Irdeto believes that the risk of having the leak traced to them will deter people from leaking game content when they're playing a playtest, closed beta, or review build of a game.

My most anticipated game of 2024 is getting the full Nvidia treatment
A character gearing up for battle in Black Myth: Wukong.

As if I wasn't already looking forward to Black Myth: Wukong enough, Nvidia just announced that the game is getting the full RTX treatment when it launches on August 20. We see new games with ray tracing and Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) all the time, but Black Myth: Wukong is joining a very small list of titles that currently leverage the full suite of features Nvidia has available.

The game comes with, as Nvidia describes it, "full ray tracing." That undersells the tech a bit. As we've seen with games like Alan Wake 2, "full ray tracing" means path tracing. This is a more demanding version of ray tracing where everything uses the costly lighting technique. It's taxing, but in the new games that we've seen with path tracing, such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Portal with RTX, it looks stunning.

Capcom has heavily discounted Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen across all of the platforms it's available on ahead of the launch of Dragon's Dogma 2.

This is happening as part of a wider Capcom Publisher Sale taking place across major platforms. While titles like Street Fighter 6 are also discounted, picking up Dragon Dogma: Dark Arisen right now makes the most sense, as its sequel is right on the horizon. Dragon's Dogma is a fantastic RPG with exhilarating combat and unique ideas like its pawn system that lets you venture out with characters that your friends created. Dragon's Dogma 2 seems like it will only expand on these ideas, so it would be wise to familiarize yourself with the foundation it's building on is.
