Bungie's Head of Product Josh Deane replied to a post showing Destiny 1 running at 4K/60fps with a popcorn GIF and 'wonder if it will do well', which outlets read as a tease of a remaster or PC port. Nothing has been officially announced.

Trials opens Friday Oct 9 at 17:00 UTC and runs to the Oct 13 reset. The bonus focus pool includes Aisha's Care, Keen Thistle, Willful Hamartia, The Immortal, Burden of Guilt, Unwavering Duty and Cataphract GL3.

Xûr arrives Friday Oct 9 at 17:00 UTC in the Tower Bazaar and stays until the Oct 13 reset. Full inventory was not confirmed at time of writing.

Bungie's Oct 7 update patches back-end code so cheaters can no longer spam other players with unearned rewards and XP. Only accounts maliciously using the cheats will be actioned; innocent recipients won't be penalized.

The one about a back-end change

The next Iron Banner is listed to run from the Oct 20 reset to the Oct 27 reset, featuring the Control and Eruption modes.

Bungie has teased Festival of the Lost as coming soon, but dates are not yet official; community trackers point to the Oct 13 reset through Nov 3, centred on Haunted Sectors and returning event weapons. Official confirmation is expected in This Week in Destiny.

The Steam bundle of nine expansions plus dungeons and raids drops to $17.14 (from $69.99) until October 17. DLC is platform-specific and won't carry over to consoles.

This week's Nightfall is The Arms Dealer with Ouster Engine as the bonus focus and The Palindrome for the weekly challenge. Salvation's Edge and Vault of Glass are featured raids, Warlord's Ruin and Pit of Heresy the dungeons, and Zavala's weapon is Riptide.

Per rotation trackers, the weekly reset at 17:00 UTC on Oct 6 swaps in King's Fall and Garden of Salvation as featured raids and Duality and Vesper's Host as featured dungeons. This week's Deep Stone Crypt, Crota's End, Ghosts of the Deep and Shattered Throne rotation ends then.

Following its 'Next Chapter' announcement, Bungie confirmed Destiny 2 will remain on all current platforms as vaulted content returns.

PC Gamer argues Bungie's decision to restore vaulted Destiny 2 content was driven by necessity, since Marathon updates alone weren't going to be enough to sustain the studio.
