Bungie has dropped a new teaser for the upcoming Destiny 2: Warmind expansion ahead of the full reveal that's coming tomorrow.

Devolver Digital's "compact action-RPG" The Swords of Ditto, which as we noted last year stands out from the crowd by rejecting the retro-pixelated look in favor of a sharp, more detailed visual style, will be out tomorrow. To mark the coming of the big day, Devolver and developer onebitbeyond have whipped up a launch trailer that shows off the lovely look and teases its promise of "unique adventures linked together."

It's also on Kickstarter, with developer appSide Down asking for $7,838 to bring it to life. At the time of writing, its campaign has raised $1,989 and will run for another 26 days.

Obtainable via floor loot, supply drops, supply llamas and treasure chests, the new tool is of Uncommon rarity, and has a 2.5 second explosion delay. If that's strapped to another player, expect to inflict 100 damage. Stickies attached to structures, on the other hand, deal 200.

To this end, intrepid space surfers might uncover new anomalies, or encounter strange beings. They might unearth "hidden traces of an ancient gateway network" or unique solar systems ripe for research. And they might happen upon "unique gargantuan creatures"—who may come in peace or insist that you leave in pieces.
