Note to publishers: make sure that you schedule your social media campaigns for the right time, because trailers have been leaking left, right, and centre on Twitch and YouTube all week. This latest premature reveal comes courtesy of Snapchat (!!!), and shows the debut trailer for upcoming expansion Destiny: Rise of Iron.
You'll need both Destiny and Destiny: The Taken King to play it, as expected. The add-on does genuinely look cool, though – especially the way that it's presented in this trailer. You can expect new story missions, gear, and all of the usual additions. And if you pre-order, there's an Iron Gjallarhorn up for grabs.

It makes sence, on a sci fi world full of rocket launchers, lasers etc to hold a melee weapon!
On a more serius note, I did like destiny, but since I don't do strikes and raids, I'll wait for a big sale before getting this expansion.
Looks interesting and I am likely to return to it. I wonder if the pre-order Gjallahorn is a 'year 2' version - don't need to pre-order to get it, just buy it from your blueprints if you have it. Obviously pre-ordering can save you from spending in-game currencies to acquire it...
The fact it has a 'pre-order' bonus leads me to believe this is going to cost - so I assume its more like the Taken King in size/scale. That also goes to explain why last gen are missing out - its not like the more recent 'updates' (they are not really 'expansions'). Just hope they price it better than the Taken King and can't say the subsequent 'updates/events' proved to be 'good' value....
Looks nice - a Cosmodrome raid would be good!
Leaks tend to create more buzz then official releases.
Anyways, looks like its another reskinned weapon… Bungie needs to stop recycling their gears and weapons.
@BAMozzy
I think more than likely it will be a new 'iron' series of weapons. You will still probably be able to get it without the preorder but it could be a very rare raid drop or something.
@WanderingBullet
It is, but seeing as so many people want a year 2 gally I would think it's going to do well. I would of thought there will be lots of new weapons too. That fire battleaxe looks pretty cool! I would be happy if we get some more melee weapons.
@WanderingBullet many gamers did miss that one .. so its ok do give it back
@ekreig
They will release a version with all dlc, I would hang on unless you get the version with all dlc now. Then you can get your character ready for the expansion. You can easily get it for around £20, don't bother buying the base game because the dlc will cost you loads.
@Bonito @starman292 Oh, I think its great for people who haven't got the Year-1 Ghally. What I was saying is that Bungie tend to recycled/reskinned a lot of their gears and weapons.
@WanderingBullet
Yeah you're right they do tbf I think that was the only problem with the year 1/2 system is that you spend a lot of time re doing people's favorites from year 1 when they could be doing new stuff. Hopefully there will be some cool stuff in the new update
Looks nice, would like a retail release with everything on the disk, unlike Taken King.
I enjoyed Destiny for a while but I'm ready for Bungie to make a new FPS with a stronger campaign and drop the MMO aspects.
