The next big expansion for Destiny will be out in September, and it includes a new raid, a new zone, and a new version of Gjallarhorn.
It’s not supposed to be officially revealed until this evening but there’s already been three separate leaks today, about Destiny’s latest expansion.
The first one was by Bungie themselves, who managed to accidentally reveal the release date of September 20 on their own website.
After that the following description was put up early on Xbox.com:
Destiny: Rise of Iron is the next highly anticipated expansion to the Destiny universe. The wall which stood for centuries along the southern border of Old Russia has collapsed. Fallen mutants now scavenge the tombs of the Golden Age, and the plague they have unearthed in the wastes is more dangerous than even they understand. Join Lord Saladin. Journey into the Plaguelands. Learn the fate of the Iron Lords and stop the growing threat before it is too late.
Includes: • New Story Campaign & Quests • New Armor and Gear • New Weapons • New Raid • Maximum Light Increase • New Strike • New Plaguelands Zone & Social Space • New Crucible Mode & Maps • New Enemy Faction.
And then, finally, the trailer above leaked via SnapChat. Although Destiny fans will be most interested to learn that the expansion will reintroduce the Gjallarhorn weapon to the game – but only if you pre-order.
Gjallarhorn is a super-powerful heat-seeking rocket launcher that many consider to be the best weapon in the game. But it didn’t get upgraded as part of the big ‘year two’ update, which rendered it considerably less useful.
The one downside to Rise Of Iron though, is that it looks like it’s going to be the first expansion that is not being released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Bungie have yet to confirm that, but presumably will tonight.
