The high cost of a PS5 is putting some pressure on Monster Hunter Wilds sales, Capcom president Haruhiro Tsujimoto says, with the strong first-month sales apparently in spite of this barrier to entry. Nikkei Gaming interviewed the Capcom president in May this year, but only just published it, so his comments are mainly in the context of Wilds' first month sales--which topped 10 million units in an unprecedented success for Capcom. Despite the game's strong first month Tsujimoto said that...

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Destiny 2's latest expansion, The Edge of Fate. We recommend you complete its story campaign before reading further.

If you're hunting for new badges, you might have noticed that this is literally the bottom of the achievements earned percentage globally. Generally speaking, Peak's achievements provide helpful hints in their descriptions, but not this one. Aside from knowing that you have to offer something to The Kiln, which is the last biome, there's little else to know. But don't fret, as we'll...
