Over the weekend, a glitch in Destiny's most recent patch revealed the contents of the game's two upcoming Expansion Packs. Though developer Bungie briefly touched upon both expansions — The Dark Below and House of Wolves — when they first announced the Expansion Pass, this weekend's leak provided us with a bit more context and clarity. In total, based on the leaks, we're looking at a total of eight to ten story missions, four strikes, two raids, and three new Crucible maps in the Expansions; no new planets were discovered.
In a post today on Destiny's forums, Bungie community manager David 'DeeJ' Dague addressed the leaks, acknowledging the legitimacy of them, while adding that neither are finished just yet.
We noticed that you noticed that we already have plans for upcoming content packs in Destiny.
We do! They have activity names (which may or may not change) and we have a really good idea what they're going to contain. They even have placeholder nodes in the Director, as you've already discovered.
But neither of the Expansion Packs we've announced are finished.
People at Bungie are hard at work to complete content for our first post launch pack, "The Dark Below," as I type these words. It will be finished soon. It releases in December. Soon, we'll detail it out for you so you can see exactly what we've been working on.
Thanks for playing. Thanks for the passion. We know you want details. We'll talk more soon.
What Bungie has confirmed is that both expansions will include brand new story missions, cooperative activities, and competitive multiplayer arenas, as well as a wealth of new weapons, armor, and gear to acquire. So basically everything that had been discovered over the weekend.
Should the leaks have peaked your interested, the Destiny Expansion Pass is priced at $34.99, whereas each individual expansion will be priced at $19.99 each when they launch.
