It looks like Activision has goofed a bit. The official Destiny website has confirmed that the next expansion is Rise of Iron ahead of a live stream taking place tomorrow, June 9.
And while the name seemed a lock based on multiple leaks, the website also confirms a release date. The next Destiny expansion will be out on September 20.

Square Enix Montreal has announced a new entry in their mobile Go series: Deus Ex Go.
Similar to the studio's previous instalments based off Tomb Raider and Hitman, Deus Ex Go is a turn-based puzzle game. Playing as Adam Jensen, you make your way through a series of procedurally generated levels where you use augmentations and hacking to overcome obstacles. By hacking terminals, you can create new paths, disable turrets, and more. Timing your hacks and movements are an essential strategy, since guards can dismantle your hacking process. Similar to past Go games, you swipe in your preferred direction to move the main character.

The new entry in The Legend of Zelda series is obviously a huge part of Nintendo's E3 presence this year, and the company has provided a bit more information on what it has in store for fans. While you won't be able to check out the game in action until next week, you can get in the mood today by helping to unlock a new Zelda item in the Miitomo app. That's just part of what's ahead, which also includes Treehouse demos and an E3 eShop sale.
Nintendo started this morning with a tweet about a collaboration between Miitomo and The Legend of Zelda series. If it gets 10,000 retweets, Nintendo will unlock Link's new hair wig as a free gift to all Miitomo users. At 20,000 retweets, Miitomo users can outfit their Mii in a regular Link wig.

Remedy won’t be at E3 this year, and don’t expect the studio at Gamescom either. With Quantum Break still freshly released, it’s far too early to expect something on display. However, there are games in the works.
The developer has announced that it has added a second team. There are two games in progress right now. One is in collaboration with a “new partner” and the other is in the concept phase.
Unfortunately, neither of these are Alan Wake. Remedy isn’t abandoning the author, though.
HTC has announced that its Vive virtual-reality headset can now be purchased via the product's website (vive.com) for shipping within 72 hours, cutting out the pre-order wait.
Back at launch in April, there was a wait for the system depending on when you put your pre-order in.
If you want to try the Vive, you can also now do so in more locations than ever around North America. HTC says it's doubling and then some its retail demo locations at places such as the Microsoft Store, GameStop (Full disclosure: GameStop is the parent company of Game Informer), and Micro Center.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a vast and enchanting experience filled with monsters and peril. But have you heard of this little card game called Gwent?
While card-based minigames aren’t unique to The Witcher 3 (Pazaak and Triple Triad are just two others that come to mind), Gwent has garnered quite the following. CD Projekt Red produced real decks, and if a trademark filing is any indication, a standalone digital version is coming.
