Destiny The Taken King Expansion Free Preview Starts Next Week

Destiny players are about to get a taste of the game’s upcoming expansion, The Taken King, for free. The expansion comes out on September 15, but players will get access to some of the expansion’s features a few days before that. The preview will give players access to the new battle modes and maps for free from September 8-14, but won’t include access to any new super abilities.
“If you’ve bought Destiny, whether you’ve pre-ordered The Taken King or not, we’re sending you into the Crucible to experience new modes of battle on every brand new map,” Bungie wrote in an update. “One thing to note: You won’t have the use of your new Super abilities yet. You’ll have to visit your class Vanguard in The Taken King to earn your new subclass. For now, though, you can and should check out the new slate of maps on offer, and two of the new modes.”
Bungie’s calling the preview the Crucible Preview Event. After the event ends, the content will only be accessible to those Destiny players who’ve laid down their hard-earned cash for the expansion. It’s a good opportunity to try-before-you-buy, which is something that’s become rare in modern video games.
“Once Oryx arrives in our Solar System, the new Crucible content will become the sole property of those Guardians who pick up and continue playing The Taken King. This is your chance to try before you buy – or download. Think of it as your own personal E3 or gamescom, only it happens at home on your couch,” Bungie says.
During the preview, the increase on the level 34 cap will also not be available.
It’s easy to be cynical about Bungie offering Destiny players a free trial of its upcoming expansion – they probably don’t have as many pre-orders as they’d like and just want to sell more copies. However, it’s hard to disagree that it’d be nice if more triple-A developers gave people demos of their upcoming games before asking gamers to lay down their cash.

Post-apocalyptic Aussie CRPG Broken Roads Gets Gameplay Overview

We’ve been eyeing Broken Roads, an isometric CRPG set in post-apocalyptic Australia, and a developer-led gameplay overview gave us our best look yet.
With a moral compass for existential musings, Disco Elysium fans will love this. On a good day, outback Western Australia looks post-apocalyptic.
Since we last played, combat has changed. Free-form movement replaces grid-based combat maps. Four playable origin stories will keep players busy for 25 hours in the full release.
Broken Roads debuts on PS5 and PS4 in 2023. Is this oatmeal tempting?

Sonic Frontiers Gets Its First Free DLC Expansion This Week

Sonic Frontiers’ first DLC arrives this week, delighting fans.
SEGA announced a lot of extra content for the open-zone platformer in 2023 late last year. Owners can simply enjoy the game’s gradual expansion since it’s free.
First, the sights, sounds, and speed update SEGA informs game owners that the content update will arrive on March 23. The content roadmap suggests a jukebox, photo mode, and new challenges, but the email doesn’t elaborate.
Sonic Frontiers’ first DLC—excited?

2K’s PS5 and PS4 LEGO Racing Game Looks Like a Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Successor

We don’t have Mario Kart on PlayStation, but Sumo Digital’s Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed is the closest rival to Nintendo’s classic series. LEGO 2K Drive, a weekend leak, appears to have the same energy.
Despite being an open world, screenshots show multifaceted races in LEGO cars, boats, and planes. Images show swamps, freeways, and haunted houses. It looks nice, actually.
2K Sports is developing several LEGO-themed sports games, including a soccer game. The Danish brick manufacturer is revamping its portfolio to include more than just licensed products like LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Harry Potter. (Another of the latter is reportedly coming.)
We’re open to this LEGO-inspired racer because PS5 and PS4 arcade racers are scarce. With Disney Speedstorm and another ModNation racer from Sony, the future may be brighter.
