In the MMO shooter Destiny rumors are piling up regarding the next expansion.
Last night, we already presented the latest rumors about the next expansion of Destiny in an article. During the night from yesterday to today, an article appeared on the major US gaming site Kotaku.
It says: We have been sent promotional material for “The Taken King.” We have verified this with other sources and confirmed its authenticity. It is referred to as a “Marketing Sheet,” an overview on a sheet of paper.
Kotaku says, this was written on it:
- The expansion will cost $40 and is thus twice as expensive as the DLCs so far, but is below the cost of the base game.
- The release date is September 15
- There will indeed be three new subclasses with the following super abilities: for the Hunter a gravity bow, for the Titan a flaming hammer, for the Warlock an electric storm – meaning the new subclasses revolve around the still missing elements
- There will be new strikes and PvP maps again
- And the raid will lead against Oryx, Crota’s father, who has gathered a group of villains known as the “Taken.” Crota was the raid boss of the DLC “Darkness Awaits”
Kotaku tried to get Bungie to confirm the story. However, they said nothing and referred to E3. This will take place next week in Los Angeles. Bungie has already announced that they want to showcase new things about Destiny here.
Due to the glance at a Red Bull carton, many suspect that the next expansion will be called “The Taken King.” At the moment, however, very little is officially known about it. It is only known that Bungie is planning a “major expansion” for the fall. And that’s really about all that is officially known.
