The next expansion for Destiny may very well be arriving on September 15th, according to leaked marketing materials that were procured by Kotaku. Â The publication corroborates the recent trademark discoveries and leaked Red Bull adverts that outed The Taken King.
However, Kotaku’s report reveals that The Taken King Expansion will be a $40 add-on for the game, and will feature a new subclass for each of game’s classes. Â It outs new elemental abilities for the Hunter, Warlock, and Titan. Â The Warlock is said to have an Arc Electrical Storm, Hunter a Void Gravity Bow, and Titan a Solar Flaming Hammer.
As for the rest of the content in this pricey expansion, expect new strikes, multiplayer maps, and a new Raid said to feature the father of Crota, Oryx. Â Alongside Oryx, a new army of enemies called the Taken.
The leak did not reveal whether or not a new planet would be added to the game, or whether Destiny players would be running around the same locales. Â This has been one of the sticking points for many Destiny players in the variety that the game has offered in its first three add-ons.
The most recent, House of Wolves, added a new social area, but the story content for the game was little more than rehashed areas that most had already seen. Â The addition of a new raid will most likely be appreciated, but for $40 they better be throwing just about everything they can into this add-on.
Bungie has already made known their plans for a presence at E3 2015. Â We’ll likely find out just how much of this information is accurate, and maybe more in just a week’s time.
