#Destiny rise of iron multiplayer update#

The raid adds to the endgame content, but the bulk of the new expansion will take place in the Plaguelands, a new part of Earth expanding out from the Cosmodrome. For fans of the older raids, it promises more of a good thing, but the developers say they wonвЂ™t be implementing much-requested features like matchmaking in this update. They star in the first Fallen-centric raid, an outdoors scuffle which starts in a public area, like the Vault of Glass before it.

But like the Taken before them, these Fallen have been mutated, leading to new spins on old enemies. The heart of the confrontation is with a new faction of the Fallen, the primary antagonists of House of Wolves, the second mini-expansion. вЂњThere are a lot of high level ideas that led to the event, the lore and tone around it,вЂќ Barrett explained, вЂњbut the deeper history of what happened, we definitely fleshed that out for this release.вЂќ This time round, the team had to build the expansion from a much looser skeleton. It was a great opportunity to dive deeper into something that players were already invested in - as opposed to a brand new story where weвЂ™d need to do a lot more groundwork to get people interested.вЂќД«efore last yearвЂ™s Taken King, Destiny players had already heard the name Oryx several times, and even fought his son, Crota, building hype for the inevitable confrontation.

But weвЂ™ve never told the story of what the Iron Banner is and who Saladin is and the history of the Iron Lords. вЂњThere are a lot of threads that weвЂ™ve started, whether thatвЂ™s in the grimoires, the weapons or in the different events. вЂњWith Destiny, we created a universe where a lot of different stories can happen,вЂќ he said. SaladinвЂ™s history with the Iron Lords, and how he came to be such a powerful figure in the gameвЂ™s post-apocalyptic Tower, has been drip-fed through weapon names and snippets of dialogue until now, but Christopher Barrett, DestinyвЂ™s creative director, says that itвЂ™s time to go deeper. The new expansion is called Rise of Iron, and follows the story of Lord Saladin, best known to existing Destiny players as the enigmatic figure behind the Iron Banner, the gameвЂ™s elite PvP combat event. But now itвЂ™s back, with a new area, new raid, and new strikes вЂ“ as well as the return of the fan-favourite rocket launcher Gjallahorn.
