A picture is circulating on Reddit that shows the symbol and the release date of the next Destiny 2 “expansion” Black Armory. More information is supposedly expected on Thursday evening. Is the release rumor plausible?
According to leaks, the Black Armory is set to launch in early December: A Reddit user named AntumTheNine has published a picture that clearly reveals the launch of the first year pass content “Black Armory”.
It is said that Guardians will be able to dive into the new adventure on December 4.
Is this launch date plausible? The current season ends on November 27, so it is likely that the new season and thus the expansion will start a week later. The keywords “early December” have also been mentioned quite often, which supports this theory.
Also, December 4 is a Tuesday and therefore the day of the weekly reset. The presentation of the published image is also very professional, so it can be assumed that the image is “real”.
What else does the leak reveal? According to AntumTheNine, the announcement of the new DLC is expected today, November 15, in the weekly TWAB. This is still expected later today.
Furthermore, Bungie is planning a reveal stream next week.
What can we expect in the Black Armory? With the new contents, which are only available to year pass buyers, players can expect the following new activities and gear:
- Access to the Black Armory
- New “Forge of the Chain” activity
- New raid sector
- New exotic and legendary gear
- New triumphs and collections
- Bonus rewards
It has been speculated for some time that other exotic weapons like the Icebreaker from Destiny 1 will make a comeback in the new installment. In addition, with the Black Armory, new machine guns will be introduced. A first taste of this weapon category is provided by the recently available Thunderlord.
What about the Trials of the Nine? Bungie has removed the Trials in the current season for a thorough overhaul of the game mode. Whether the Trials will return with the new season is still unclear. The same applies to the Faction Rally, which was grind-heavy and unpopular in its original form.
