Since the end of last year, video game companies have inundating us with high-tier (and some low-tier) game after game and it shows no sign of letting up now. We have Injustice 2, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2, The Surge, Prey, Persona 5, Fire Emblem, Tekken 7 and Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy….and as much as I want all these glorious things, tomorrow is the gameplay reveal for a game I’ve been waiting waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy too long long for.

DESTINY 2.

Everyone’s first person, space-fairing, shoot everything MMORPG about moon wizards and exotic items is FINALLY showing it’s super-polished, next-gen only face tomorrow on Twitch. It starts at 1pm here at B-More time. If you wanna watch somewhere you trust, I’ll link it below.
