There's tons of great Wing Commander fan projects out there, but it's not every day that we get a teaser for a new one.

It talks a bit about why the film was the way it was and how it was critically panned.

This week at Bungie, we revealed Cayde’s fate.

If you want to remain spoiler-free, you should stop reading now and not look at the internet until September 4. As many of you already know, we gave you a glimpse of beloved Hunter Vanguard Cayde-6’s final moments earlier this week.

We told you that Forsaken is taking a darker tone and has a Western revenge vibe. It looks as if many of you have taken it upon yourselves to avenge Cayde. In September, you'll get your chance to hunt down the Barons, confront Uldren, and make him answer for his crimes.
