Summary Originally introduced inDestiny 2’s critically acclaimed Forsaken expansion, the game’s PvE/PvP hybrid Gambit mode was initially received with open arms, as it brought an entirely different approach to gameplay than any otherDestiny 2activity had before. While it divided players with its numerous balance issues for some time, Bungie eventually “fixed” Gambit to make it a little more fair for both sides. However, despite still being one of the main activities inDestiny 2, it has not received any new content for years, with Bungie even going so far as to imply that it would no longer be working to improve Gambit in any way....

Then again, at least it’s an anime adaptation and not a live-action onesince those don’t seem to be doing so well lately....

Summary 2024 is almost halfway through and while it may not end up being as monumental for game releases as 2023 was or 2025 will be, there are still several games supposedly intending to launch before the year concludes. Many of these anticipated titles have yet to receive release dates, including Obsidian’sAvowed. It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility forAvowedto be pushed to 2025, and even if it does get delayed it will always need to contend with direct comparisons to all other seminal action-RPGs that have made a similar impact....
