Get in, Guardian, we're going loot-grabbing. Destiny 2's Solstice of Heroes event returns as Season of the Splicer continues its trek towards completion. As with every Solstice event, there will be special packages available for participating Guardians as well as gear to earn, including a brand-new Legendary Shotgun up for grabs.
In order to celebrate those who took a courageous stand in defense of the Last City, we must play Destiny 2 in hopes of that sweet, sweet, God Roll. This year will tasks Guardians with going back to the European Aerial Zone in order to unlock caches and kick boss butt. Every day, players will need to pay special attention to the assigned element. Guardians will need to keep that element in mind when choosing how they approach battle and which sub-class to use. Doing so will charge one of four elemental buffs and then on Prism Days, players can charge all four buffs with the restriction of only one being active at any given time.
The event is free for all to enjoy, so no Guardian is left behind when earning Class-specific and upgradable armor. Check out the new digs in our first look below:
You can also check out the new gear, such as adorable Summer-themed Ghost shells and new cosmetics, in our photo gallery:

The festivities will be welcome with everything going on now in Season of the Splicer. This season has been dealing with some heavy themes, including the telltale existential story of what it means to be human and where moral boundaries lie. That, and Savathun has got something up her sleeve, and the party? It's just getting started. If you're interested in learning even more about the nuance of Season of the Splicer, you can check out our most recent character study regarding The Crow and how his impact is arguably stronger in this season than he was in Chosen despite being a voice over a transmitter.
The returning Destiny 2's Solstice of Heroes event kicks off on July 6 and will run until August 3. Happy gaming!

Back in June, Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon shared our first look at the Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms box art and the film's release date. At that time, we didn't have any video to go off of, but that's changed thanks to our first official trailer for the sequel to Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge.
Courtesy of IGN, our first official look at the upcoming animated film from Warner Bros. Animation and NetherRealm Studios includes the art style we know and love and returning faces that always mean a good time is ahead:
Click here to watch embedded mediaDirected by Ethan Spaulding, the director of the previous movie and Batman: Assault on Arkham, and with the script written by Supernatural's Jeremy Adams, the Battle of the Realms is based off of the popular video game franchise originally created by Midway Games. It features iconic fighters, recognizable moves, and a storyline that will feel both fresh and familiar to fans of this fighting series.
Community's Joel McHale will be returning to voice Johnny Cage once more. Other confirmed talent includes Jennifer Carpenter as Sonya Blade, Jordan Rodrigues as Liu Kang, Patrick Seitz as Scorpion, Robin Atkin Downes as Shinnok, Artt Butler as Shang Tsung, Ike Amadi as Jax, Grey Griffin as Kitana and Mileena, Fred Tatasciore as Shao Kahn, and Dave B. Mitchell as Raiden. Some new voices are also a part of the film's sequel with actors like Debra Wilson as D'Vorah, Emily O'Brien as Jade, Paul Nakauchi as Lin Kuei Grandmaster, Matt Yang King as Kung Lao, Matthew Mercer as both Smoke and Stryker, and Bayardo De Murguia as Sub-Zero.
The sequel follows immediately after what we saw in Scorpion's Revenge. Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms will task memorable characters to travel to Outworld in defense of Earthrealm. Scorpion must find the ancient Kamidogu before it's used to resurrect the One Being, which basically would mean the destruction of life as we know it – no pressure.
Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms makes its grand debut, both physical and digital, on August 31, 2021.
