Here is a look at everything that is included in this expansion:Cayde’s Death
One of Destiny’s most beloved characters dies in the Forsaken expansion and a new story campaign focuses around his death and the events that proceed it.
New weapons and Gear
Brand new gear and weapons will be added to the new Forsaken expansion. Players will be swamped with new exotics, legendaries, and exciting changes to the Masterwork system.
Players will also be able to finally add any weapon to each weapon slot. If you want to equip two rocket launchers at once, now you can. Two swords? Sure. Or maybe something more practical like a scout rifle and a pulse rifle.

We've got some great news for anybody enjoying the Destiny 2 Open Beta. The end time for the beta has been pushed further into the future, which means players have more time to play.
Bungie still has more service testing to complete so that things are ready for release later this year. As a result, the Destiny 2 open beta has been extended until July 25. On July 25, the beta will end at around 6 PM.
The open beta for Destiny 2 originally started on July 21. It included some content from the main campaign, as well as some PVP content from the Crucible.
The campaign content included the first campaign mission, Homecoming. Crucible content includes the Countdown attack/defend mode on Endless Vale, which is a new Crucible map.
On top of the solo-focused campaign and the PVP content, the open beta for Destiny 2 also includes a co-op focused Strike mission. The Strike available on the Destiny 2 beta is called The Inverted Spire and it has a focus on firefights against

During the Destiny 2 live stream, changes to the Crucible were announced live.
It's been confirmed that the Destiny 2 Crucible PvP mode will have more of a focus on competitive gameplay. As a result, the mode has been adapted to better fit a competitive format. Going forward, all Crucible game modes in Destiny 2 will feature a 4 versus 4 team line up. In the first Destiny, PvP modes supported up to 6 versus 6.
On top of that, all of the previous Crucible game modes from Destiny will be making their return to Destiny 2. A brand new game mode was also confirmed during the Destiny 2 live stream event.
The new Destiny 2 Crucible game mode is called Countdown - it's essentially an attack and defend mode that will give teams the objective to either defend or attack. Objectives for each team will alternate each round.
More changes are coming to the Crucible in Destiny 2 to make it more of a competitive arena. New information will be shared during the game to give each

Viole
SirDimetrious
TripleWRECK

A new update for Minecraft is expected to hit sometime in June and it should add a number of changes, including a new PVP mode. The versions that will receive the new PVP mode will certainly include the console versions but so far we aren't sure whether the PC or handheld versions will receive the same changes.
The new mode is called Battle and it will pit up to eight players against each other in a pre-generated map. There will be a number of pre-generated maps to play Battle mode on however the resources on each map will be randomized. Players will be given a set time limit where they will be invincible at the start of each Battle match. Players can use this time to collect resources.
Once the invincibility wears off, players are encouraged to fight to the death. Players will keep playing until one player is the last man standing. If you've ever played Minecraft on the PC you may be familiarized with The Hunger Games mode which is essentially the same kind of experience.

Like previous updates, all of the content has been designed specifically for GTA Online, but some of the items, such as vehicles and clothing options, should be available in the singleplayer portion of GTA V too.
The first of the newly announced items for the Valentine's Day update is a brand new vehicle called the Albany Roosevelt Valor. This vehicle has been described as being an "Updated take on the classic Roosevelt," and it has "A range of exciting modifications available to apply at Los Santos Customs."

Destiny's Sparrow Racing League has now ended and players can no longer play this particular game mode. For those unaware, Sparrow Racing League was a unique PVP mode added to Destiny that allowed players to race each other in Sparrows. This is the first time Bungie has added a PVP game mode that has a main focus besides shooting.
Now that Sparrow Racing League has come to a close, Bungie will be replacing it with The Iron Banner for a short while before introducing another timed PVP game mode. The Iron Banner has already been in Destiny two times since the release of The Taken King and this is now the third time.
The Iron Banner features basic PVP combat just like the standard Crucible game mode but there are some standout features that make it very different. Unlike the standard Crucible mode, the Iron Banner has level advantages enabled, which means that weapons with higher attack ratings do more damage. In the Crucible, all gear is leveled out to make an equal playing

A brand new PVP mode has been added to Destiny The Taken King but this new game mode differs significantly to other PVP modes. The new game mode has been dubbed the Sparrow Racing League and as the name suggests, it features fast paced Sparrow racing as opposed to FPS style arena combat.
The new Sparrow racing mode will be available in Destiny for three weeks. During this time players will be able to unlock special new content, including rare Sparrow variants.
On top of adding the new Sparrow Racing League mode, a few other changes have been made in the latest patch for Destiny The Taken King. It should be noted that Sparrow Racing League is only available for those with the Taken King DLC.
Like many patches before it, this latest update for Destiny makes a lot of balancing changes across the board. Some changes include adjustments to class abilities whilst other tweaks are specific to weapon balancing. Interestingly, the Titan melee range has been increased for all

Battleborn will be Gearbox Studios' latest video game. Even though Battleborn will be a completely different genre to Borderlands, there's something about it that almost feels like it's had inspiration from Borderlands, or perhaps it's just Gearbox's art styles that are bleeding through into the MOBA genre too.
During Paris Games Week, Sony unveiled the Battleborn beta plans. According to the event hosts at Sony's Paris Games Week event, the Battleborn beta will be coming to PlayStation 4 before any other platforms.
Whilst it was revealed that the beta will be available on PS4 first, the previously announced closed technical tests will still take place at the same time on all consoles, which begins on October 29.
The open betas, which will take place on the PlayStation 4 first, will begin next year. Unfortunately the time that the open beta will land on the PlayStation 4 was not mentioned at the event. There was a bit of confusion about the PC beta too, which may or
