Are you a fan of Destiny hungry for new content? Well, gear up Guardians because we’ve got some big news.

Ever since poster art for the upcoming Rise of Iron expansion was leaked last May, fans have been speculating what Activision and Bungie have up their sleeves for the Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) this June.

Speculate no more. Earlier today, the latest Destiny trailer was leaked and it reaffirms many of assumptions we’ve had about the hugely anticipated update.

Update:The trailer was officially released on the Destiny YouTube Page last Thursday night. The trailer was supposedly ripped from Snapchat and put online. And has since then been taken down by Activision. The leaked trailer confirms the September 20 release date and a new story about the fall of The Iron Lords set in Old Russia.

We were tickled fancy by the appearance of Lord Saladin, handler of The Iron Banner, who appears to be getting a bigger role than ever, possibly a central point of the new plot. For the first time ever, the Titan is shown without a helmet on and with a badass flaming hammer in tow.

The story also seems to have an emphasis on the The Fallen as the main antagonist.

The trailer also goes on to list all of the new content included in the expansion. Along with the new story players can expect to get:

  • new armors and weapons
  • new strike mission
  • new zone
  • new social space
  • new crucible mode and space
  • new enemy faction and bosses
  • and a new raid

The trailer also reintroduces Gjallarhorn, which was arguably the game’s most famous and powerful weapon in year one. It will be available in a new sleek silver and black colorway for those who preorder the expansion.

Millennials, prepare to have your nostalgia get hit right in the feels. Nintendo has officially announced that Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are coming to the Switch.

This year, the Pokémon franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Naturally, with Pokémon Day coming up, it’s only right to celebrate the event with something huge. Finally, two of the most prolific titles in the series are coming to a modern console.

Originally released in 2004, Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen were remakes of the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. At the time, the two titles reimagined the older games for the Game Boy Advance. Additionally, they introduced new post-game content set in the Sevii Islands, where Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys reside in the Kanto region.

Based on the short teaser trailer, the upcoming Switch versions will feature all of both games’ content. It will likely be remastered for the Switch’s larger screen.

To showcase more of the Switch version, Nintendo is hosting a Pokémon Presents on February 27. The brand has not mentioned anything about a potential physical version yet. However, they do promise that both games will be available on the Nintendo eShop as soon as next week’s Pokémon Presents concludes. Each game will cost US$ 19.99.
