No Destiny Daily or Weekly Events This Week

Destiny will not host its regular Daily and Weekly events this coming week, Bungie has announced. This is apparently the result of the game's upcoming 2.0.0 update, which arrives on September 8.

"When Destiny 2.0.0 update releases, there will be no Weekly or Daily events (Nightfall, Daily Heroic Story, Heroic Strike) available for the week of September 8 - September 14, 2015," Bungie wrote on its website.

Destiny 2.0.0 is a major patch that makes a long list of changes and tweaks for all players. Check out this roundup for everything you need to know.

Following 2.0.0 will be The Taken King, which launches on September 15. It is Destiny's third expansion, following The Dark Below (December 2014) and House of Wolves (May 2015). The Taken King costs $40, a price point that Bungie recently defended. Bungie will also release a Destiny: Taken King Legendary Edition, which comes with the base game and all three expansions.

In other recent Destiny news, Bungie has announced that the game's multiplayer mode will add a new "Mercy Rule" in an effort to reduce the number of blowouts.
