While many Bungie fans are focusing on the team's new extraction shooter, Marathon, its flagship title Destiny 2 continues to add new features, cosmetics, and collaborations. Today, as part of the This Week At Bungie update, the developer announced the next major cosmetic collaboration on its way to the Eververse: Wizards of the Coast's tenured tabletop game Magic: The Gathering.
The three main armor sets are each based on one of Magic's most prominent figures. The Titan set, Flamecaller, is designed after fire mage Chandra Nalaar, while the Hunter Set, Mindsculptor, is themed after the powerful blue sorcerer Jace Beleren--while also being named after one of the most powerful cards ever printed. Finally, the Warlock set, Death's Majesty, evokes the dark necromancer Liliana Vess and her black magic abilities.
Other cosmetics coming in the Destiny 2 MTG collaboration include a Ghost shell that mimics the Lovecraftian horrors known as the Eldrazi, vehicles that pay homage to another villainous Magic faction called the Phyrexians, and a finisher that references one of the tabletop game's most powerful green spells, Overrun. Finally a new shader pack will also be part of the partnership, which includes five shaders referencing the five basic land types: Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest.

The new trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day hit the internet this week, and it was a giant success, so much so that it surpassed GTA 6's latest record-breaking trailer.
For context, May 2025's GTA 6 trailer reached 475 million views in less than a day, while Brand New Day's trailer surpassed 718.6 million after its first 24 hours, Sony Pictures announced on Thursday. At the time, Rockstar said the GTA 6 trailer was the biggest debut for a trailer for anything ever, surpassing the 365 million views that Deadpool & Wolverine clocked in its first 24 hours.
The accounting for any trailer's views is not exact, as videos are hosted in various places. The Brand New Day trailer on Sony's own YouTube account has 14.8 million views. It was also hosted on the PlayStation YouTube page, where it has more than 10 million views.

The creators of free-to-play gacha RPG Duet Night Abyss have publicly apologized for a "cybersecurity incident" that saw players' PCs infected with malware. The incident--which developer Pan Studio is calling a "malicious attack"--took place on March 18 and resulted in malware affecting an unknown number of players. Per a recent post from the official Duet Night Abyss X account, the malware was spread via an update patch for the game's launcher, which went live on Steam at 1:04 PT / 4:04 AM ET on March 18.
"First and foremost, we would like to express our deepest apologies for the cybersecurity incident that occurred yesterday," Pan Studio said in a post shared to both X and the game's Steam page. "Following the resolution of these temporary issues, we have conducted a full review and summary of the event."
Pan Studio's timeline says they became aware of the malware incident roughly 24 minutes after the launcher's update patch went live, and quickly began working on a fix, deploying an "emergency update" patch roughly two and a half hours after discovering the issue.
