It's no secret that Destiny 2 has been in a rough spot for a while, between the current marathon season due to the delay of The Final Shape, last year's brutal round of layoffs at Bungie, and game director Joe Blackburn's surprise departure this month. Throw in a notoriously vocal community that's grown fatigued with the game's seasonal model and monetisation, and the current gloom at parent company Sony, and the good times are very much not rolling if you're a guardian. But, hey… Hoverboards!
As part of today's This Week in Destiny blog, Bungie dropped the news that players are about to get a new type of personal transport: the Skimmer. It's the first time in the series' entire history that we've have had an alternative type of mount, with players standing on these Skimmers like surfboards rather than straddling them like the old and now terminally uncool Sparrows.
