Destiny Expansion II: House of Wolves Brings New Adventure, Activities And Upgrades For All Players

It is time to get ready for the next level of your Destiny as the House of Wolves is out now, players will need to steel themselves as they fight in new arenas, story events and more.



“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.”
