Project Cars 2's debut was a close second



Destiny 2's debut saw it shoot straight to the top of the charts, so it's safe to say Bungie's sequel has gone down pretty well, and now we know that it's got a third week at the top spot, fighting off a number of new entries for the privilege.

Sitting just behind Destiny 2 is Project Cars 2, another sequel with a good result in terms of sales, and NBA 2K18 sits in third place after its own number two debut last week. Pokkén Tournament DX is another debut that's sat itself nicely in the top 10 as well, with a number 5 position.

You can see the top 10 in full down below:

1. Destiny 2 / Activision
2. Project Cars 2 / Bandai Namco Entertainment
3. NBA 2K18 / 2K
4. Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 / Konami
5. Pokkén Tournament DX / Nintendo
6. Grand Theft Auto V / Rockstar
7. Crash Bandicoot: N.Sane Trilogy / Activision
8. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy / Sony

Destiny 2 is getting Faction Rallies tomorrow



Destiny 2 is going to be receiving a special event tomorrow called Faction Rallies, where you can support your favourite faction from 10:00 BST, giving a little bit more of a reason to log back into the game, and receive loot for doing so.

"Each of the factions of the Tower is having a rally to collect resources for its cause," Senior Designer Tim Williams explained. "They're recruiting Guardians to gather supplies for their faction and destroy enemy resources. They'll offer a suite of rewards to help the Guardians rise up against any enemy threats. As an incentive, each faction has set aside a powerful weapon to entice players to choose their side. The faction whose Guardians collect the most faction packages will be declared the winner. The winning faction will offer the weapon to everyone, but all who pledged loyalty will receive it with a huge discount as repayment for their contributions to their faction's cause."

Who can you join though? Well, there will be Arach Jalaal from Dead Orbit, Lakshmi-2 from Future War Cult, and Executor Hideo of New Monarchy, although you must be Level 20 and have another requirement (we won't spoil anything!) to do this, with one faction able to be pledged to per character.

Activities will then be available to support the faction, such as strikes, exploring lost sectors, public events, and more, all of which will reward you with faction tokens you can exchange for packages packed with loot.

For more on the initiative, visit the official site (although beware of spoilers), and take a look at some of the gear down below. Does this sound like something you can get into?
