The second Destiny DLC is called House of Wolves and it will land on the 19th of May.
Besides bringing new missions it will also try to fix some of Destiny’s issues regarding its shared economy – thus making leveling easier, and enticing players to keep at it, and buy upgrades, customize gear. Comparing House of Wolves with the first DLC, The Dark Below, one can see how much more work has been put into the new expansion – the first one was released last year, on the 9th of December, and offered a new cooperative Strike mission, and a six-player Raid.
House of Wolves adds a ton more to the content – with 60 new pieces of gear set to be added, and 14 new weapons.
New ships too, and it seems that Bungie’s creative team isn’t lacking the ability to make-up names – The Shark Wrestler, Never Liked Thermodynamics and Teatime With Marduk.
But we are more interested about the story, and what directions are the Guardians supposed to take. It’s rumoured that the game will be returning to the faction-based civil war with Wolves being considered traitors to the Queen.
A new Raid is set to make its appearance in the DLC – The Arena. It will take place in The Reef.
Destiny was released on the 9th of September last year, and has garnered a strong fan base – it received mixed to positive reviews. Most issues were regarding the plot and post-campaign content.
Bungie has referred to the game as a shared-world shooter, refusing the title of MMO. It feels exactly like a first person shooter that incorporates rpg elements, and is set in a MMO platform – why blatantly refuse this description is beyond my understanding.
Destiny ranks on Metacritic at the 75/100 mark – not bad, but also not exceptional. If you plan on giving it a go, take a look at a couple of gameplay videos on YouTube. I tried it, and it wasn’t for me. Here are the best ones I could find – Destiny Gameplay Walktrough Part 1, and Part 2.
Destiny is available for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
