The next Destiny expansion is called The Taken King. It’ll be out on September 15 and will open up a new subclass for each of Destiny’s three classes.
According to gaming site Kotaku, The Taken King will retail at $40 and it confirms the existence of a new subclass for each of the game’s three classes, along with a new elemental super ability: an electrical storm for Warlocks (arc); a gravity bow for Hunters (void); and a flaming hammer for Titans (solar). Hardcore Destiny players will notice that each of these abilities revolves around the element each respective class lacks today.
In addition to the usual tweaks, The Taken King will have a raid pitting players against Oryx, father of Crota, who is apparently looking for revenge (and leading a new army of baddies called the Taken).
The name “Taken King” has been floating around for a while, too, thanks to trademark registrations and an accidental leak by Red Bull.
