Destiny 2 Is Coming to PC via Battle.net

Update: It seems the release date for Destiny 2 on PC will be a little later than the September 8th mark, as PCGamer found out. The actual PC release date will be announced "in the coming weeks".

The big Destiny 2 gameplay reveal stream just finished and had a surprise cameo by Blizzard's very own Mike Morhaime, announcing that the franchise's arrival on PC will happen exclusively via Blizzard's own Battle.net service. This means all your friends lists from Blizzard games will be right there on Destiny 2's launch, making it much easier to get going in this new MMO and you'll also be able to purchase the game using Blizzard balance! It also makes a lot of sense since Activision is publishing Bungie's Destiny franchise so Battle.net is the perfect fit. Here's a couple of trailers for the game in case you weren't familiar with it: May 18, 2017 at 18:20 by Starym 23 comments

The Nexus is Shifting (Official)

Battleground variability in Heroes of the Storm is something that sets the game apart from other MOBAs.

Lead Battleground Designer John Deshazer made a blog post where he's talking about map rotation, battleground selection and more. Maps available next week can be found here.
