Destiny 'The Dark Below' Expansion Gets New Details!

[VinWarrior]

Today, Bungie announced a slew of new details for the new expansion to the game, The Dark Below, including an increased level cap, a new raid, and more!

 

Rumors and leaks spread like wild fire in the recent days surrounding the leaking of Destiny's DLC content, which is likely why Bungie has now officially revealed the DLC and it's contents. Bungie.net has the news, with an info page talking about and showing the new features. To start, the game will increase the level cap to 32, though whether this means the Light cap or that we'll be able to get to 32 normally on top of the extra ten light is unknown. What is known though is we're getting new armours and weapons reserved for these elite players, including a new Hive themed rifle and Shotgun, and a rocket decked out with an old fashioned World War II paint decor. This is so far all we've seen, so there could be more. New story missions following a new Guardian in the tower named Eris will be available. On top of all that, we'll receive new Crucible maps and most excitingly a new Strike. This strike is said to entail finding a Hive Wizard named Omnigul buried in Earth looking to enlarge the Hive army for the Hive god Crota's return. And to top this off, a new raid allowing you and the most skilled Guardians to slay their god, Crota. More details will be seen soon, but we have a confirmed release date of December 9th, 2014.

 

 

Does this news excite you, and will you play the DLC? Let me know down below Guardians! Thanks a ton for reading, see ya!

Hopefully with the new story missions there's actually going to be a proper story and narrative, and hopefully there are proper objectives rather than just fighting hordes of enemies as my ghosts scans something. 

 

Great article man!

Only the Strike is exclusive for PS users, everything else is included for Xbox users as well.

This is disappointing to say the least.

 

Destiny has many problems one of them being a lack of content.

 

So it would be logical to assume Bungie would be coming out to something big ( like a mmo expansion ) Lots of new content two or three new raids... six ness strikes. Two new planets etc

 

Lots of content to keep the Destiny community active made according to play feedback. Now maybe this is pushing it for an expansion but that is what I think.

 

But no we get one strike one raid. 2 or three new Pvp maps, New level cap but lets face it level 32 will be easy to get to. And to top is off a few new story missions.

 

All that for 20 pounds?!
 

What a rip off this is not enough to keep the Destiny community active. Destiny is a mmo and so needs a mmos worth of content but it does not have that, and that is a problem.

Yet both pay the same price.

 

Bungie really is dead. They wanted to leave their "evil overlords" at Microsoft so they could work under the worst publisher in the business and make the Waterworld of video games. Joseph Staten, Marcus Lehto, Jaime Griesemer, Frankie, Stosh, and Marty are all gone, and probably many more.

 

Gonna delete this game off my hard drive to make space for something more worth my time and resources.
