Destiny‘s upcoming Expansion, House of Wolves, set to release May 19th, adds a wealth of content with the addition of new weapons, armor and gear to earn in new story missions and quests, three new competitive multiplayer maps and a new co-op Strike.
Additionally, House of Wolves introduces a new competitive multiplayer event in the Crucible called Trials of Osiris along with a brand new co-op arena activity called the Prison of Elders.
The Queen of the Awoken has called upon the Guardians to hunt down the House of Wolves, Fallen subjects once loyal to the Queen before their violent rebellion. Meet with the Queen’s emissaries at the Reef.
