Heading into Lightfall, Destiny 2 needs to make some drastic changes to survive
On February 28, 2023, Bungie will release the fifth major DLC update to Destiny 2: Lightfall. With the game entering its sixth year, it’s no surprise that the experience as a whole has become difficult for new players to fully engage with. Even with the introduction of the base game as free-to-play, Destiny 2 is a mess of menus and game modes, with a complex story to match.
However, the onboarding process has become such a mess that even for lapsed players with hundreds of hours under their belts, knowing what content to engage with – and what the hell is happening at any given time – has become borderline impossible. If Bungie is not careful, Destiny 2 will become a market exclusively for an unsustainable and ever-diminishing hardcore fanbase.
To tackle what Bungie could do to fix this onboarding issue, we need to break down the key problems. This starts with acknowledging that, as novel as Bungie’s decision to make the core game free-to-play was, Destiny 2 is not a F2P game. Though there are plenty of things for F2P players to do, the majority of end-game activities (such as the seasonal activity for any given update) and most story missions are unavailable to you. Even content under the bracket of ‘F2P’ – such as the nightfall strike as part of the vanguard operations – can be locked if said mission is part of a DLC package.

Apple’s Custom MicroLED Displays Likely Heading to iPhone, iPad, and Mac After Apple Watch Ultra
In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman said that Apple has spent about six years developing microLED technology for what will become the first display custom-designed by the company itself, mirroring its work on Apple silicon. Earlier this week, Gurman said that Apple is planning to introduce the display technology with a new Apple Watch Ultra in 2024.
Apple reportedly kicked off its microLED project, codenamed T159, around 2017. The display is intended to offer improved brightness, color reproduction, and viewing angles, making images look more like they are “painted” atop the display glass, and replace parts currently supplied by companies like Samsung and LG.
After debuting in 2024’s Apple Watch Ultra, Gurman expects Apple’s custom microLED displays to expand to the iPhone, potentially followed by the iPad and the Mac at an even later date. He believes Apple’s long-term plan is to bring microLED displays to all of its key products, but it could be a decade before it emerges in the Mac owing to the complexity of the technology at this early stage. For comparison, Gurman noted that the iPhone will have had OLED displays for over six years by the time they are expected to come to the iPad.

Classic X-COM-like Xenonauts 2 is heading to early access later this year
It’s inevitable that as soon as you make a list of your most anticipated games for the year, more excellent games start getting announced the moment you hit publish. Case in point: Goldhawk Interactive’s long-awaited Xenonauts 2 has just been confirmed to be heading to Steam early access later this year. Huzzah! The original Xenonauts was an excellent homage to the hyphenated school of X-COMs / UFO: Enemy Unknowns of old, so I’m feeling pretty pumped to find out how its sequel builds on its classic, squad-based tactics.

I’m a time traveller from 2671 – aliens are heading for earth to destroy us all… here’s how some humans will survive
A SELF-proclaimed time traveller has claimed aliens are heading to earth to destroy us.
Eno Alric, known as “theradianttimetraveler” on TikTok, wildly claims to be from the year 2671.
On his page, he has made a series of bonkers forecasts for the future, warning in his bio that “mankind is on the brink of destruction”.
Despite none of his previous predictions panning out, he still racks up hundreds of thousands of views on his barmy posts.
He has now warned of a life-changing event he oddly claims will happen in March.
In a new video he said an extraterrestrial species known as “the Champion” will arrive on Earth.
He added: “The world will soon end.
“A very hostile alien species is coming to take back the Earth, we will not win.
“Another alien, whose world was destroyed by the hostiles, will save some of us.
“On March 23, 2023, about 8,000 people will be taken to another habitable planet.”
Despite it racking up hundreds of thousands of viewer, most were not convinced.
One person wrote: “I am a time traveller and I want to inform you that Sunday is the year 2023.”
Another joked: “If it’s gonna end soon, then how were you alive in 2671?”
Eno replied: “As I said, 8,000 are taken to another planet.”
He previously claimed “very big things” will happen on four December dates.
But sceptical TikTok users were left divided by the baseless predictions.
One said: “I know what the event is…. Christmas.”
Another added: “Yes I am a time traveller too that date… is Christmas.”
A third replied: “If you 6,000 years in the future, then how do you have a old phone and know how to work TikTok?”
Many social media users pointed out that Eno’s similar predictions for November never came true.
The supposed time traveller previously claimed that there would be five major events to remember from this month.
He alleged that humans would find new planets, be hit by a tidal wave and be visited by aliens.

Three years later, The Division 2 is heading to Steam
Ubisoft stopped releasing their games via Steam back in 2019, starting with The Division 2.

It’ll finally arrive on Steam next month on January 12th, as part of Ubisoft’s broader shift back to Valve’s storefront.
