First details for Destiny: House Of Wolves have begun to surface, with a possible release date leaked. Over on Reddit, Megamanexe4 gained access to currently-hidden content via some mysterious methods. Although shady, he claims that the update will launch on the 19th May 2015. Coincidentally, that date also happens to be a Tuesday which as most Destiny players know, is weekly reset date and was the chosen day to release the previous expansion pack, The Dark Below.
The official description for Destiny: House Of Wolves reads, "The Queen's Fallen have purchased their freedom with Awoken blood. Hunt down the traitors and your debt to the Queen will be paid."
So what comes with Destiny: House Of Wolves? A fair bit, it seems. There's a new of story missions and fresh raid, along with a new Strike and three new multiplayer maps. Included in the Reddit post is a ton of images relating to new weapons, armor and gear that players will be able to obtain. Importantly, the raid that players will get their hands on is going be set in the unexplored Reef area. If that wasn't enough, there's a new higher level Strike playlist (Level 28 Vanguard Dragon) as well as a new level cap for the Weekly Nightfall activity.
As far as the story is concerned, Megamanexe4 thinks some of it has been bumped back to March, "There is a part of of the Daily Heroic Story data in March though the greater part of data was moved in May. Therefore, it seems that the hot fix is delivered to correct them at about the beginning of March." It's also looking likely that weekly activities have been setup to last until August as Megamanexe4 was unable to access anything after this date.
"So far I have only been able to get data on the weekly activities through till August." he ads "I get an error message whenever I try to access content in September or beyond."
It wasn't long until Destiny's Community Manager, DeeJ arrived on the scene to clarify what players were looking at. Stay tuned for more developments.
Wow. Pretty armor and stuff!
I'd like to share here what I just posted on Bungie.net...
I know that rampant speculation will burn for a while on this topic. As you enjoy a conversation about the pearls of information that can be lifted from this, please bear a few things in mind...
Aside from giving it a name, Bungie has yet to reveal the House of Wolves. That means that anything you know about it can change. We have a team working on the experience in their own fancy room, and they have some exciting surprises up their sleeves.
We reserve the right to overwrite anything you're looking at right now. These placeholder items enable us to save room on your drive for actual future updates. You'll all download them before it's time to play.
Any stats or assumptions about power or impact or handsomeness are months old, and do not reflect the things that we're doing to adapt to what you've taught us about Destiny. There is a process here, and you're a part of it.
Leaks are fun. I totally get it. Please discuss to your heart's content. All we ask is that you leave your mind open to the evolutions that are inevitable. What you see here are very old ghosts from our pre-launch database. These are not the necessarily wolves you're looking for.
