Important Build Notes

Shopping Cart Update

Thanks so much for your feedback on the new Shopping Cart feature in the Store! We’ve heard your feedback and are now taking Shopping Cart offline to make fixes and improvements. Shopping Cart will return to the Store in the next few weeks.

File a Bug shortcut on the Console

Trying to file a bug and your controller is dead – plug in a keyboard and hit Windows Key + F to file a bug! This will work when your controller input isn’t working or when you cannot get to power center.

Broadcast Everything

With the latest update, Xbox users will be able to broadcast not just gameplay but the entire Xbox One console experience to Mixer. Users can turn on this setting in the broadcasting tab in Guide.

This setting is always disabled at the end of the broadcast and the user must explicitly enable it. This feature will prevent unnecessary pause screens on Mixer as the user transitions from one game to another.

The broadcast during this time will behave very much like a capture card with a few exceptions.

1. Non-game audio is not included in the broadcast.
2. HEVC applications like Netflix and YouTube will terminate the broadcast.

When this setting is enabled everything you see, your audience will see: your Home screen, the guide, your game, notifications, what you’re typing, and more.

Be careful not to broadcast personal information such as passwords and credit card numbers!

Supergiant Games is bringing its critically-acclaimed Bastion and Transistor to Nintendo Switch.

Released in 2011 and 2014 respectively, the two games were highly-rated upon release and have gone down as true indie classics. 

Bastion is an action RPG which an isometric viewpoint and a gorgeous hand-painted art-style, while Transistor adopts the same perspective but gives everything a harder visual edge. Both are welcome additions to the eShop library, despite their obvious age. 

Bastion launches on September 13th, while Transistor is expected in November.

Multiplayer smash hit TowerFall is coming to Switch next month, along with plenty of exclusive features.

Billed as the ultimate version of the game, TowerFall will include all of the content from Ascension and Dark World, as well as a new six-player mode and Madeline and her reflection Badeline from Celeste.

Here’s some PR:

The ultimate version of the beloved archery combat/party game, featuring Switch-exclusive six-player battles, guest characters, and more!

TowerFall is the ultimate version of the beloved archery combat / party game, featuring all of the content from Ascension and Dark World, and several Switch-exclusive additions!

Inspired by classics from the golden age of couch multiplayer, TowerFall centers around hilarious, intense versus matches – best played against friends, sitting cross-legged on the floor within punching distance of each other.

The core mechanics are simple and accessible, but hard to master, with a huge amount of gameplay variants, arrow types, power-ups, and levels. And when you need a break from the competition, team up in one-to-four player co-op modes, where you’ll fight off a wide variety of monsters, enemy archers, and bosses.

The Switch version includes several new and exclusive features, including 6-player battles utilizing widescreen levels, new gameplay variants, and guest archers Madeline and her reflection Badeline from fan-favorite platformer Celeste!

TowerFall will hit the Switch eShop on September 27th. Will you be taking aim at this one?

MU Legend is Now Available on Steam!

Following the footsteps of the successful titles MU Online and MU Origin, MU Legend offers an authentic alternative to the dungeon crawler gaming experience.

A game with its own unique signature, MU Legend blends the dark fantasy world of an MMO with the richness of hack ‘n’ slash gaming.

In just mere days, Destiny 2: Forsaken will arrive, ushering in a host of new experiences and major upgrades aimed at transforming nearly every aspect of the game. We’ve already spoken a lot about Forsaken’s key features and updates, but we wanted to take a moment prior to launch to provide you with some additional details about what you can expect beyond day one. To tee up that conversation, we’ve recruited a handful of developers to take you through our plans, from the 2.0 update that went live today, through our current plans for seasons and the annual pass. 

Seasons of Change

Destiny 2: Forsaken kicks off the Season of the Outlaw. Once you’ve completed the campaign, hunted down the Barons, secured some of your favorite new weapons, and explored the new worlds and the challenges that await, you can expect to see us continue updating the game with new activities and rewards. We’ve also hidden away many surprises for you to discover, and the information and roadmap below aren’t intended to spoil them, but rather to give you a broad sense of what’s to come.

After Season of the Outlaw concludes, each subsequent three-month Season will usher in a month-over-month roll out of new experiences, events, rewards, and activities, most of which will be available for free to every Destiny 2 player.

Annual Pass

The Forsaken Annual Pass is different than the traditional post-launch Destiny expansions we’ve delivered in years past. Black Armory, Joker’s Wild and Penumbra will offer a range of different experiences that consist of new endgame activities and modes, discovery, and challenges that escalate, ebb, and flow over time, with each offering prestigious rewards. 

Annual Pass content will release throughout the year, working in concert with our free Seasons to help keep the world alive and fresh. Black Armory, Joker’s Wild, and Penumbra each deliver multiple beats that span the length of a given Season. We believe the overall experience will feel markedly different to Destiny players, in a really good way.

Below is our first Forsaken-era post launch roadmap. It includes a short hit list of what you can expect in the coming weeks, and a look at what’s on tap in the months beyond. Once again, it’s not intended to spoil the surprises, but it should give you a good idea of our commitment to supporting Destiny 2 in Year 2.

Like our previous roadmaps, we’ll continue to update you with additional details and changes as these experiences continue to shape up and come together.

Keep an eye out for more detailed scheduling and information covering the Season of the Outlaw soon, and more information about the follow-on seasons and Annual Pass in the months ahead. As always, we’ll be listening intently to your feedback, updating the game with an eye toward continuous improvement, and playing and experience the game as part of this remarkable community.
