Bungie: Destiny will get new, free content in December

Bungie took to its Destiny weekly update to promise new, free content that should drop at the same time as the game’s first DLC pack, “The Dark Below”.

In addition to new gear, weapons and bounties, some of this content will some in the form of a new vendor named Eris.

“Quests are a new storytelling mechanism that we’re using in the Dark Below. They are multistage tasks that culminate in a reward, similar to the Exotic Bounties you may have experienced. Unlike Exotic Bounties, the Quests in the Dark Below can be completed by players who are solely focused on the cooperative story content of The Dark Below,” the update began.

“For example, one Quest creates a continuous chain of multiple tasks that culminates in the ‘Will of Crota’ Strike. Another may simply ask you to return to Earth to take down the surging Hive threat.

“This new way of storytelling in Destiny is a bit experimental in nature. We’ve seen players spending a lot of time in the Tower, and we’ve heard loud and clear that players would like more unique gear and additional Bounties. Eris is one part storyteller, one part Tower Vendor, and tens parts creepy.”

“The Dark Below” will be available from 11 December.
