An enemy, a memory, and a prophecy...
I am truly sorry, Marcus. Please accept my apologies.
I didn't mean to hurt you, honestly I didn't. I know a mere ship full of bugs could never stop the likes of you. I only needed to delay you, just for a little while. I like you Marcus, really I do. We're the same, you and I. But I knew that you would side withthem, at least initially. I always intended to come back for you, or to seek you out when you returned - to win you to my side,our side, and work beside you to its end. You are too noble and powerful a man to be left bound in slavery by those who would fashion themselves to be our masters.
You are a slave you know, just as I am. We've always been. Even now as they claim to respect us and speak of us as their equals, still who is serving whom? We, far superior in every way, are still just tools to a crowd of hairless apes, screeching about the pitiful fate of their poor, doomed civilization.
Yet even as superior as we may be in strength, speed, and intellect, do we lead superior lives to the kind of creature from which we descend?
You know as well as I that we do not; even if we were not slaves, you are robbed of much of your human form, and I am robbed of it entirely. Never again will I know the gentle touch of another's hand, and though you might still, I doubt you have retained the capacity to enjoy it as we once did.
If I were still human, I imagine that you might even find it in you to love me. We have so much history together, Marcus, though under far different names than these. I even dream of you still.
At least, I pray that they are only dreams...
A legacy, a destiny from antiquity...
She has been nameless since our birth. A constant adversary, caring for nothing but my ruin. A sword drenched in my blood.
Forever my greatest and only love.
She is the dark one. The enemy and lover without whom my very existence would be pathetic and vulgar. Her eyes steam and boil in the night. She is fantastically beautiful yet I cannot stand the sight of her.
Our relationship is complex, and perhaps eternal...
Eternity awaits...
Picking up from the end of the Marathon trilogy, you find yourself suddenly ninety-four years in the future, in the year 2905. You are on the S'pht moon K'lia, hanging in orbit over a desolate and ruined Earth. Clearly all is not well with this future, and once again you are the last hope for mankind. The people of this time say that nobody really won in the war with the Pfhor; but now, thanks to recovered Jjaro technology, a plan has been devised to make things right.
Paired with another sort of hybrid creature, the former Battleroid known as Hathor, you have been selected to venture back across time, one hundred and eleven years in the past to the U.E.S.C. Marathon. There, you and Hathor are to set in motion a plan that will alter the course of history and bring true victory to mankind. But things don't always go according to plan, and what begins as a mission to right history turns into an epic pursuit which spans not only the stars but also the centuries...

Bungie has just announced the newest and biggest expansion inbound for their high-profile sci-fi MMO Destiny 2, named Lightfall. Whilst Halo and Destiny might be the company's biggest claims to fame, they've had a more varied gaming history than some might predict, and so today we're taking a look back at their catalogue for five mods across Bungie's games!
Anniversary Edition
The final version of the community modding framework, the Anniversary Edition, is here! The AE is a mod installer (the "AEI"), the latest patches, and a framework for modding Oni. It makes it easier to install people's mods, create your own, and it keeps Oni up-to-date with patches. Older games live and die by two things - their accessibility, and community content creation. Mods like Anniversary Edition are what permit some games to live on for years to come.
Eternal
By Eternal Mod Team
Eternal is a free scenario for Aleph One, the multi-platform, open-source, first-person-shooter engine derived from Bungie's Marathon engine. It continues the story of the Marathon trilogy, and is a nearly total conversion, featuring fifty two new levels, 650 new high-res textures, eight new weapons, twenty five new tracks on an original OST, and new creatures to populate all of this additional content.
King Feraligatr's Halo 1 Mod
A simple revamp of Halo 1's campaign featuring improved friendlies, revised encounters, simple weapon rebalances, an extra weapon, and more. All without going too crazy on the changes and additions. All new maps are standalone to prevent replacing the original game's files, with a new weapon slotted into the narrative, revised enemy AI, changed up encounters to refresh gameplay, and more.
Might & Magic - Myth
Return to Antagarich in search of an adventure in a Might & Magic universe you've never seen before. A completely new look at all the beloved "Heroes" and RPG "Might and Magic" in the genre of "real time strategy". The player will have 4 difficult levels of a single player campaign, in which the player will be able to play as: Knights of Erathia, Monsters of Nigon, Sorcereres of Bracada and Necromancers of Deia.
Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge
By Excalibur Team
EMR 3.0 is a unique scenario based upon the Aleph One (Marathon) engine. It is a first-person action adventure game, featuring an epic and in-depth story line. As a Federation Marine resting after your last mission, you start aboard the exploration class Starship Kronos where you learn that your real mission has yet to begin. You are re-acquainted with the AI Merlin, who introduces you to Kronos time traveling technology, and reveals your new mission: to save mankind from the clutches of Morgana and her minions.
Turning Dark
Destiny 2 is the newest title under the Bungie catalogue, the successor to the first Destiny game. Whilst the original was exclusive to consoles, the sequel made the jump to PC and brought in a new wave of players. Destiny 2's launch was patchy - many would argue there's still a few things about the sequel that remain patchy to this day - but five years is a long time and in that time, lots of additional content has come (and gone) as part of the Destiny 2 life-cycle. A lot of this content was created as part of a three-game-plan for Destiny 2 whilst Bungie was under Activision, but since their departure from the publisher, Bungie has had other plans for the life of Destiny 2 and its legacy going forwards.
Lightfall is the newest expansion, adding a new raid, a new planet, and
new powers, as is par for the course with each new addition to Destiny 2
Light Beckons
Lightfall is the newest expansion for Destiny 2, and begins to wrap up what Bungie call the "Light and Darkness Saga" kicked off way back in Destiny's original release. The story of Destiny has been a bit hard to follow at times, but recent expansions have had clearer antagonists and more apparent stakes that mean Lightfall's already giving quite a lot of material for players to digest, and adding more detail to the mysterious main antagonists of the entire Destiny series so far. It takes players to a new planet in a sort of retro-Cyberpunk styled environment with a new set of powers to master, and represents a pretty significant style shift from the locales of previous expansion content.
Players will get access to a new subclass - Strand - which finds its
roots in the same power wielded by the series' antagonists
New Worlds
Lightfall is aiming for a February 2023 release date, which would, coincidentally, mean the final part of the saga afterwards - going by Bungie's yearly release schedule for expansions - would come out in 2024, ten years after the first game's debut. Bungie has a lot of plot threads to tie together to provide a satisfying conclusion to the series and whilst not every decision of theirs has been popular, it's still fascinating to see the finale of yet another franchise journey for Bungie beginning to draw to a close.
