"Along with our partners at Bungie, we can't wait for our fans to explore “The Plaguelands,” conquer an entirely new Raid, “Wrath of the Machine,” and tackle all new modes, a new Strike, quests, weapons, and gear. I, for one, can't stop playing. And you won't be able to either."

“The team was excited to expand upon the heroic tale from one of Destiny’s most renowned characters in Destiny: Rise of Iron,” said Pete Parsons, CEO of Bungie. “We can’t wait to see the memories and stories that will unfold as the community discovers what it means to become an Iron Lord.”

In Destiny: Rise of Iron, players will explore the noble backstory behind one ofDestiny’s most beloved events, “The Iron Banner,“ and fight alongside its herald, Lord Saladin.
