This week at Bungie, Future War Cult took the crown.<\/p>\n

It has been a long time coming. Future War Cult has always been celebrated among Guardians. I mean, who wouldn\u2019t rally behind the faction who foretold of the Red War. Event after event, there were those who dismissed the cult, believing they\u2019d never taste victory.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Zero Future no more. It was a wild race, from start to finish. Behind the scenes, we have the ability to spotcheck the pulse of each faction, and this event in particular was close. Each day, Dead Orbit was within reach, but ultimately lacking the proper dedication for another win.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Cheers to all who pledged their loyalty to Lakshmi-2. In just a few weeks, we\u2019ll be watching the third and final Faction Rallies event of Season 3 unfold. New Monarchy, it\u2019s your time to shine. That… or be left in the dust.<\/p>\n

Guardians, Assemble!<\/h2>\n
\n<\/div>\n

Next weekend, after the smoke from tons and tons of fireworks has been carried away on the wind, we\u2019ll be in Florida for the real celebration of rockets\u2019 red glare. My fellow Community Manager has the details.<\/p>\n

Cozmo<\/b>: We\u2019re heading down to Tampa for GuardianCon 2018. You’ve probably heard that Gambit will be playable at the show. It\u2019s our pleasure to introduce the away team that will be inviting people to experience this brand new activity for Destiny<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Four teams featuring Bungie developers and some of your favorite content creators will compete across three matches. Alpha team will face off against Bravo team. Charlie team will face off against Delta team. The winners of each match will battle to the last in a final winner-take-all showdown. Color commentary will be provided by DrLupo <\/b>and MTashed<\/b>.<\/p>\n

These teams won\u2019t be duking it out for a big payout. This is all in the spirit of charity and goodwill. All your donations during the stream will go to support St Jude\u2019s. Bragging rights are on the line, though!<\/p>\n

The teams and enemies will be revealed as we take the stage. Line up or tune in to the GuardianCon stream<\/a> to see which team has the most cunning risks for tactical gain.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This Whole World Is a Story<\/h2>\n
\n<\/div>\n
If you\u2019re looking to learn more about Destiny 2: Forsaken<\/i>, Game Informer has you covered<\/a>. Recently, a team of Guardians hungry for action descended upon our studio, leaving no stone in the Tangled Shore unturned. All month long, you\u2019ll be invited to inspect their findings\u2014everything from story to endgame, with a variety of topics in between.<\/div>\n

Schedule Alterations<\/h2>\n
\n<\/div>\n

Last week, Senior Designer Joe Blackburn<\/b> took some time to set expectations on the upcoming Prestige raid lairs. Since then, we\u2019ve been fielding many questions about the World\u2019s First race\u2014will we have one? Can the release of each raid lair be staggered to offer multiple races? Luckily, Joe\u2019s still here to answer these burning questions.<\/p>\n

\n

Joe<\/b>: Hey everybody,\u00a0<\/p>\n

I just wanted to swing back around and give a quick update on some changes to the Prestige lair launch plan. Based on player feedback\u2014and to ensure each World\u2019s First race has a clean start\u2014we\u2019re changing the release times of each activity. Eater of Worlds will receive a one-hour delay to ensure players have ample time to download and install Destiny 2\u00a0<\/i>Update 1.2.3 once it becomes available. Spire of Stars has been delayed 24 hours to offset the activity releases. The following times are when each activity will become available:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
