First introduced with The Taken King and reappearing over the weekend, Mayhem is a specialist mode within Destiny's PvP that basically turns everything up to 11. It's not available as a permanent game type, but it damn well should be, and every other FPS should have it as well.

If you're that rare breed of gamer who is dedicated to Destiny on the Xbox One, you deserve some credit. It's been a hard slog, and being shut out of exclusive content can't have been fun. But I have some bad news for you -- if you were hoping to finally get access to some of the timed exclusives from The Taken King, you'll have to wait a little longer.

Yes, there's a Destiny concept art mega-post, but this new Taken King stuff is so good I think it deserved its own feature.

Today on Kotaku Splitscreen, we've got a very special guest: Destiny: The Taken King director Luke Smith.

Destiny, a video game that's too good for the likes of Emmy-award winning Peter Dinklage, is now full of hidden secrets, some of which you'll probably never find your own.

For the past week, I've done very little but play Destiny, a video game in which you travel through space lamenting that Destiny has gotten way harder to make fun of in the first lines of Kotaku posts because it's so friggin' good now.

Are you a Destiny player with no interest in buying The Taken King? You might want to find another game to play.

When Destiny first launched, it was a half-baked, punishing game with the barest hint of a story, delivered through crummy dialogue and repetitive missions that tasked you with shooting endless waves of enemies. One year later, everything's changed.

I spent this morning powering through the first main story quest of Destiny: The Taken King, a video game about how cool Nathan Fillion is. I am happy to declare that everything about it is excellent.

I recently visited Bungie's mall-sized Mother Base for the second time in my life, and the emotions inside me were the utter opposite of the fangasm I felt in 2014. Year-ago-Adam was wowed by the scale of this Graceland. He was ecstatic to see the first reveal of a 10-year thing called Destiny. His notepad was already bursting with excitable questions, at least two of which included the phrases “Halo MMO” and “Peter Dinklage OMG”.

God, I want to slap 2014 me. From a running start.

I must confess, it's hard not to be excited about the future of Destiny, a video game in which players must travel through space fighting enemies, getting loot and beta-testing Destiny.

Here is a very pretty new limited edition PS4 that will ship on September 15 alongside the new expansion for Destiny, a video game about the triumphs and flaws of capitalism.
