Rogue Signal BONUS Destiny 2 Cast
Earlier this month, I (Ryan) traveled to Bungie's HQ in Bellevue, Washington to check out Destiny 2: Renegades, the Star Wars-inspired expansion hitting the game on Dec. 2.
You can read all of my thoughts about Renegades on Rogue.site, but I wanted to do something a little less stuffy and formal than just a written preview and an interview. I wanted to give Destiny players the chance to ask questions about the expansion that would be relevant to real, high-engagement players like me and like them.
So I invited my own Fireteam to have a little chat.
In this bonus episode of Rogue Signal, I chat with three Destiny friends who I not only made through the game, but have been playing with for many years – since D2 came out eight years ago, in one case.
We talk through basically everything I'm able to talk through, including the campaign, Lawless Frontier, new weapons, and more.
You can watch a free video version of the show on Rogue.site.
