'Destiny Expansion II: House of Wolves' DLC update: Bungie talks upgrade path, new Social Space

Destiny Bungie

Game developer Bungie detailed the upgrade path for "House of Wolves," the much awaited second expansion pack for "Destiny." With the add-on, players will be able to increase their Light level cap from 32 to 34 as well as the maximum attack of weapons from 331 to 365. In order to pull off the former, players will be able to exchange ascendant and radiant materials.

Meanwhile, the expansion pack will mark the purging of Commendations, which are rarely used by players in the game. 

The upcoming DLC will also introduce a new Social Space called The Queen's Bay found in the Reef, which seems to be the main milieu for everything that the expansion pack is bringing. Players can even purchase new gear, weapons as well as some shaders and ship schematics in the location. 

In a nutshell, it will be the gamers' new hub, whether or not they have "House of Wolves." The Queen's Bay is operated by a Bounty Tracker and Story Agent named Petra, who will be in charge of doling out new Story Quests and serves as the main contact of players. 

While The Queen's Bay sounds like it can stand-in for the Tower, Bungie made sure that it is still accessible, or at least select areas of it, namely the Cryptarch, Vault, and Bounty Trackers. In addition, a gunsmith from the Tower will be at the disposal of those who want their weapons re-forged. 

Bungie may also be planning to include modifiers in the expansion pack, according to a Twitch streamer named Enraged Cinema, who had the chance to check out the pack. Unfortunately, he did not go into detail about these new goodies. However, this revelation means that players may at last include Kinetic Burn, which every player so wishes to see in the game. 

Bungie is set to do another Twitch broadcast on April 29 to talk about Trials of Osiris, which is said to be a three-on-three Clash event. On May 9, the developer will walk players through the Prison of Elders.

"Destiny Expansion II: House of Wolves" will be released on May 19.
