Bungie is teasing the death of another major Destiny 2 character

Spoiler Alert is a legendary sidearm in Destiny 2, which was reintroduced to the game in August for Season of the Lost, and bears the description: "Someone is going to die." That's not terribly remarkable in itself—that's pretty much how Destiny 2 goes, after all—but this particular weapon's presence could be a sign of very bad news ahead for one of the game's major characters.

The day after launch, New World server queues continue to hit the thousands, with some players waiting hours to play Amazon's new MMO. Others, however, are jumping into servers immediately after creating their characters.

And now there are anecdotal reports that it's happening again.

We've always known Rise would eventually arrive on PC, and now Capcom's released a trailer for the PC version showcasing some of the improvements it's made. What is great is that this isn't just a barebones port, which some folk were worried about, but takes advantage of the more powerful hardware: 4K resolution, ultrawide display option, an improved framerate, a bunch of graphical options, and of course all the DLC release thus far (a lot). Here's Capcom's site for the PC version.
