A few details that briefly appeared on the official Destiny website yesterday included that Rise of Iron would be released on PS4 and Xbox One, with no mention of the older console generations. While also not yet confirmed, it seems the Rise of Iron expansion will finally see the end of Destiny‘s support for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. Last year’s Taken King introduced swords, so hammers could be a natural extension of that. There’s also a brief shot of Lord Saladin wielding a giant flaming hammer, suggesting players will be seeing a whole new weapon type. There will be new weapons and gear as well, which is standard for each expansion the game sees. We’ll likely find out in detail what the expansion will include during the live-stream - which takes place in just under 3 hours at the time of this writing - but the trailer states that there will be new story missions, at least one new strike, new maps for PvP, and, most excitingly, a new raid. Rise of Iron is available as paid downloadable content to owners of Destiny and its three existing expansions, The Dark Below, House of Wolves, and The Taken King. It began Year Three of Destiny s life cycle. We see the character Lord Saladin, which Destiny players will recognize as the vendor for the Iron Banner event, preparing to face off against a new threat from the Fallen enemy race. Rise of Iron was released on September 20, 2016, nearly two years after the launch of Destiny. The trailer, which you can see below, features the same scene that was revealed a few weeks ago when official poster art leaked online.
