Destiny 2 Warmind DLC Details
Watch Bungie and Vicarious Visions reveal details of Destiny 2’s second expansion Warmind on Twitch.
Although multiplayer first-person shooter Destiny 2 started well when it came out in September, 2017, developer Bungie and publisher Activision soon found themselves on a bumpy ride of fan-hate because of their decision of constantly changing things players loved about the game just for the sake of freshening things up. With the game's second DLC Warmind, they are hoping to finally make up for their mistakes and try to damage control as much as possible.

The Clovis Bray corporation that helped them colonized the area are ironically responsible for creating that.
