The time has come. The universe is expanding. House of Wolves is now available for Destiny!

Destiny Expansion II: House of Wolves is ready to download on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3 and PS4. It adds a wealth of new weapons, armour and gear to the Destiny universe as well as new story missions, quests, competitive mulitplayer maps and a new co-op Strike.

In addition, the expansion welcomes new activities with the introduction a brand-new competitive multiplayer event in the Crucible called Trials of Osiris, and a brand new co-op arena activity called the Prison of Elders.

“We continue to be humbled by the Destiny community and remain fully committed to creating the best experience we can for the fans”, said Pete Parsons, COO of Bungie.  “That means we’re listening every day to real-time feedback from the players. In the eight months since launch, we’ve supported the game with 17 updates that we believe have grown and improved the universe.  House of Wolves is no different.  For example, we’ve engineered a new upgrade path for your existing Exotic and Legendary gear, and we’re revamping our PvP system with a new rewards system and new PvP event called Trials of Osiris.  We’re excited to see the response.”

Features include:

  • New Co-op Arena Activity – Set in the Prison of Elders, teams of three players can take on waves of increasingly difficult enemies to earn high-level legendary and exotic rewards.
  • New Competitive Multiplayer Event – The Trials of Osiris is a brand new, weekly 3v3 elimination event where power levels matter.
  • New Loot and Customisations – Earn new weapons, armour and gear, including Legendary, Exotic, Faction and Fallen-themed items.
  • Level Increase – Raise your Light Level to 34, including the introduction of gear ascension to increase the maximum level of previously earned Legendary and Exotic weapons and armour.
  • New Story Missions and Quests – Take on new adventures through new missions and quests featuring Petra Venj of the Queensguard and Variks, a Fallen loyal to the Queen.
  • New Social Space – Visit a brand new space in The Reef, set within the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, with new vendors offering unique rewards, new bounties and more.
  • New Strike: The Shadow Thief – Journey to the Moon and hunt down a notoriously cutthroat Fallen mercenary namedTaniks.
  • New Competitive Multiplayer Maps: Black Shield – a decommissioned Firebase is believed to have been a key defensive position used by the Cabal when they established their warbase on Mars; Thieves’ Den – a Fallen hideout located in the calderas of Venus with precarious drops that offer alternate routes for those willing to risk the fall; Widow’s Court – an asymmetrical map with both long sightlines and tight interiors, set in the European Dead Zone on Earth

If that wasn’t good enough, the competitive multiplayer maps from Destiny Expansion I: The Dark Below are now available for everyone.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore. Gamertag is neil363, feel free to add me to your list.
