A brand new trailer for Destiny: Rise of Iron has been leaked, unloading a ton of information pertaining to the upcoming expansion.
Bungie’s next major Destiny expansion since the critically-acclaimed The Taken King, Rise of Iron will see players venturing into the Plaguelands, an area that is uncovered after the southern border of Old Russia collapses. The trailer offers a good look at this new snow-covered area, which players will be guided through by Lord Saladin, a new major NPC who will seemingly serve as the focal point for the expansion.
Prior to the trailer leak, Bungie accidentally posted a thorough description of Rise of Iron on its official website, which you can read below:
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 Bosses
Interestingly, the game hasn’t been listed for a PS3 or Xbox 360 release, indicating that this could be the first time Destiny makes a complete leap to current-gen consoles. It will require both the Destiny base game and The Taken King expansion in order to play it. According to these leaks, the expansion will release on September 20th, 2016.
