Destiny 2's most popular competitive multiplayer mode, Trials of the Nine, will be postponed due to a glitch.

In a post on Bungie.net, Bungie said that the next two instances of Trials - held on weekends - will be postponed because of "emote glitching" in The Crucible. The team is currently working on a fix that they plan to deploy at the beginning of November.

In other Destiny 2 news, its first prestige raid is now live and the specs for the Destiny 2 PC version have been revealed. We also have some suggestions on how to make Destiny 2 even better, including expanding the farm, adding north to the mini-map, and adding more depth to public events.

LEGO Dimensions has reportedly ended a year earlier than planned.

Though Warner Bros. has yet to officially confirm or deny the news, sources close to Eurogamer say that the TT Games-developed series has been cancelled. The publication cites multiple reasons for the cancellation, including the cost of using real LEGO, flagging sales, and the toys-to-life genre falling out of fashion.

If LEGO Dimensions is over, it's ended during its Year Two cycle, which included '80s characters like Beetlejuice, Gizmo, and ET. A third year was planned, and reportedly would have featured fan-favourite villain Lord Vortech, a Minecraft expansion, and The Flash, among other characters. Eurogamer also reports that work was being done on a camera that could scan real life LEGO bricks and see them replicated in game, though it was never green-lit for production.

Nintendo just recently added video capture to Switch, and may already be looking to extend the allotted recording time.

According to Kotaku's sources, Nintendo is planning to extend the recording limit, as the function is currently limited to 30 seconds of video time and only works for select first-party titles that support it.

The company allegedly wants to keep the time restriction in place until all first-party titles support the feature. Nintendo also reportedly wants larger third-party games that use its characters, like Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, supported early, and will be actively approaching the studios behind those titles to make it happen.
