Nå er det bare 11 dager til Destinys meget lovende utvidelse, The Taken King, lanseres. Det er dog ikke bare de som kjøper utvidelsen som står overfor massive endringer, og nå har Bungie 2.0-oppdatering vil kunne lastes ned på tirsdag. Her snakker vi ikke bare om at Peter Dinklage byttes ut med Nolan North, men også en rekke andre endringer mange har drømt om i flere måneder.
