Space opera holds off sports double-header
Bungie’s intergalactic RPG Destiny 2 sits comfortably atop the UK video game charts, seeing off successful new entries from NBA2K18 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2018.
This makes it the second week for the Activision-published sequel, which received favourable reviews across the board, and will likely hold fort until some of the heavy-hitters come out for the holiday period.
In other chart news, Metroid: Samus Return broke the Top Ten, debuting at number 8, but was just pipped by Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, which landed at number six. Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition also hit the shelves, falling just outside the Top Ten at number eleven.
