Destiny’s “Rise of Iron”: Takes place in Old Russia’s Plaguelands; New Raid, Strike incoming

Keen Redditors have grabbed more details of Destiny‘s “Rise of Iron” expansion from a descriptive page on the Xbox Store.

“Destiny: Rise of Iron is the next highly anticipated expansion to the Destiny universe,” the game’s description reads. “The wall which stood for centuries along the southern border of Old Russia has collapsed. Fallen mutants now scavenge the tombs of the Golden Age, and the plague they have unearthed in the wastes is more dangerous than even they understand.”

Guardians will join the Iron Banner’s Lord Saladin and journey into the Plaguelands, according to the listing.

“Learn the fate of the Iron Lords and stop the growing threat before it is too late,” the description concludes.

The expansion promises more story quests, new armour and gear, weapons, a new Raid and new Strike, an increase to maximum Light, a new Plaguelands Zone and social space, more Crucible maps and more new enemies.

Destiny‘s actual expansion reveal is scheduled for early tomorrow morning. The expansion itself is expected in September.
