Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris to Feature First Raid Lair
Destiny 2's upcoming DLC expansion, Curse of Osiris, will feature a new type of Raid experience called a Raid Lair.
As detailed during Bungie's Twitch stream (via Game Informer), a six-player Raid Lair is shorter but "no less challenging" than your standard Raid encounter. Curse of Osiris' Raid Lair is titled Leviathan, Eater of Worlds. Like the existing Leviathan Raid, Eater of Worlds is also set on Calus' planet-eating ship; however, the action takes place in the lower areas of the ship rather than all the way at the top.
YouTube Says Nintendo Can Do Better for Content Creators
Nintendo has come under criticism from YouTube for how it handles monetization for content creators on the platform.
YouTube's head of gaming, Ryan Wyatt, explained in an interview with Polygon that the two companies are in constant talks on how to improve things for publishers and content creators on YouTube. "They're spending a lot of time looking at how to engage their creation community and how to handle monetization," he said.
Wyatt noted that YouTubers "are able to livestream Nintendo content and monetize through our non-ad products," but said he thinks "there are ways to better improve and better optimize how they work with the creators."

Destiny 2: The Curse of Osiris Story Feels A Little Flat
Destiny 2’s upcoming Curse of Osiris campaign is going to re-introduce you to returning characters like Ikora Rey, and Brother Vance, alongside some new faces such as Osiris and Sagira (his Ghost). On this journey you’ll head to Mercury to fight against the same Cabal from the campaign, as well as Vex – some which will have a slightly different look, but the same combat mechanics you’ve come to expect. After playing the first mission, which took us to the new destination I had the opportunity to rush through the 2-3 hour campaign where core components like shooting, and leveling feel as good as they always do. Once I completed it, however, I was left thinking simply, “That’s it?!?”
