Bungie has confirmed that a number of changes will be put in place with Destiny 2 update 2.0.0, which arrives on August 28 ahead of the Forsaken expansion.
While much of the additions come in the shape of various tweaks to the three Guardian classes, the developer is also changing up a few things regarding Destiny 2's travelling merchant, Xur, Agent of the Nine.
Chiefly, he will no longer have his icon displayed on the Destination Map, nor will his location be tied to the weekly Flashpoints.
Remember back in the original Destiny, when every Friday there would be a mad dash to try and find Xur? Well, these changes mean you'll essentially be doing the same thing again. Great.
Nothing else has changed though. Xur's will is still not his own and he still cannot explain his purpose, Bungie added.
Elsewhere, those of you excited for the new Gambit mode will be able to take it for a spin just prior to Forsaken's launch. The 24-hour trial will kick off on September 1 at 6.00pm BST, though you won't be able to rank up or earn unique rewards until September 4.
Destiny 2: Forsaken is due for release on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One on September 4. Witness Cayde-6's last stand in yesterday's brand new trailer, and shed a tear while you're at it.
Sorry Nathan Fillion, but I'm pretty sure Cayde-6 is dead after the kicking he took in that video.
