Images of a possible E3 booth for the MMO shooter Destiny have surfaced. They show a cross-promotion with the beverage supplier Red Bull and the title of the upcoming expansion.
Leaked images have appeared on reddit suggesting a cross-promotion between Red Bull and Destiny. If the images are to be believed, the next Destiny expansion is definitely called “Destiny – The Taken King.” And for those who sip a can of Red Bull for breakfast, there’s likely a code inside that unlocks bonus XP and “epic quests”.
There’s been no official statement from anyone about this yet. However, it seems that the next Destiny expansion is actually called “The Taken King”; otherwise it would be quite silly to print boxes with that name. And it appears that there really is a collaboration between Red Bull and Bungie.
One can only hope that if there are such promotions, they also take place in Europe and not just in the USA. Otherwise, Red Bull will not only incur the displeasure of some football fans but also that of gamers who feel disadvantaged.
But one should probably wait and drink something decaffeinated.
The leak seems to be credible because it perfectly fits the info mosaic we currently have. The title “The Taken King” has been trademarked by Bungie a while back. And a major US gaming site reported that Destiny will showcase the next expansion at E3.
Currently, very little is known about the expansion, other than that it is supposed to be significantly larger than the two previous DLCs. There are some rumors that the level cap will be raised significantly, a new raid will be added, the game will be released on boxed format again, and similar things. However, nothing has been confirmed yet. Only that the expansion is planned for the fall and that it is indeed supposed to be large is official. In 2 weeks at E3 in Los Angeles, we will likely learn more.
