1. Destiny 2 Year 3 finishes things off with Season 11
The final season of Destiny 2 Year 3 is finally here. The past few seasons have been a bit all over the place, jumping from the Vex to Osiris to the Almighty, but Bungie has always maintained that it will all come together in Season 11. How, exactly, remains to be seen, but we're excited to see how Bungie rolls out the red carpet for the big expansion coming this fall. Based on the few teasers we've gotten so far, the fall expansion will take us to a new destination on Europa, Jupiter's moon, to fight a new alien race which is piloting those pyramid ships. We've seen bits and pieces of this throughout Destiny 2's history, and it looks like it's finally coming to a head. If Season 11 can set up a smooth transition into the cataclysmic events to come, it may be the best season of Year 3.

3. The magical adventure created by a teenager comes to consoles
Project Warlock is a shooter that combines your standard weaponry with magic spells, but is most notable for being the work of an 18-year-old. Yes, at a time when we were all bunking off to play Final Fantasy and telling our parents we hated them, Jakub Cislo, developed a whole ass game while still attending high school. The game was released on PC in 2018 but comes to PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch this week.

4. Artemis Fowl is coming to Disney Plus instead of cinemas – and that’s a big deal
Artemis Fowl is A) an honest-to-god actual new movie – a rarity in recent months – and B) a change in how Disney is approaching its releases. Both are just as important, though the latter could end up sending shockwaves through the industry.
First, the movie: an adaptation of the first book in an eight-part series by Irish author Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl sees Artemis Fowl II, the latest in a long, long line of Fowl criminals, searching for his father. In a neat twist on the boy-looks-for-missing-parent trope, Daddy Fowl was kidnapped by fairies for his role in stealing something that, shock horror, didn’t belong to him.
It’s all set to offer some entertaining family-friendly fare, while potentially kick-starting a franchise – but its success could also mean Disney moves towards putting more of its mid-budget titles straight to Disney Plus. As if you needed another reason to settle in front of the sofa this week.
What: Artemis Fowl
