New details on Bungie’s post-launch plans for Destiny: Rise Of Iron leaked in the early hours of Tuesday morning via the companion app released back in 2014, and it looks like Lord Saladin won’t be in charge of the Iron Banner anymore. It also looks like we’re getting new Crucible quests in the weeks following the Destiny: Rise Of Iron release date.
New Destiny leaks aren’t usually all that common in the wake of a new expansion, particularly now that the latest raid is live, but that’s exactly what we were treated to this week. Just as some fans are finishing the content present in Destiny: Rise Of Iron, a member of the game’s sub-reddit was the beneficiary of an error, with the Destiny companion, that seems to have uncovered new Iron Banner bounties and the impending arrival of a new NPC handler. Neither is a particularly momentous change for the shared-world shooter, which is currently enjoying more player activity than we’ve seen in months, but those pleased by what they found in Rise Of Iron should be happy to hear Bungie has more content on the horizon.
Redditor K13_45 published several images on Tuesday morning, captured using the Destiny companion app, that reveal four new Iron Banner bounties believed to be headed to the game sometime in the next few weeks. The images suggest a new NPC (Lady Efrideet) will be taking over for Lord Saladin, now that he’s set up shop in the Iron Temple, and the new bounties are all point-based quests seemingly designed to give Destiny players more options to complete them. Iron Arsenal tasks players with racking up 100 points off enemy kills, with players earning more points while using secondary or heavy weapons, while Iron Support rewards players for defending (and avenging) their teammates.
Destiny: Rise Of Iron is now available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
