Destiny's ‘The House of Wolves’ DLC Expansion Pack Available by Next Quarter of 2015

According to game developer Bungie, "The House of Wolves," the second major downloadable content expansion pack for the online first-person shooter video game Destiny will launch sometime in the second quarter of 2015. That means it will be released within the April-June timeframe, said Game Spot. A supposed leak posted on Reddit is more specific, claiming the release will fall on Tuesday, May 19.

Rumors have it that "The House of Wolves" DLC expansion pack will contain a new Awoken storyline plus an exclusive Raid, 3 new Crucible maps and a new Fallen Strike, plus hundreds of new weapons, amour and gear. However, Bungie won't go into the specifics yet of the next planned DLC release. Said the developer: "We're keeping all other details under wraps for now. There is a special team here that's dedicated to creating some new ways for you to play Destiny. They're also making the game you know a better reflection of what we've learned about you since you've started playing." Still, the company teased that something Destiny-related is coming this fall following the release of "The House of Wolves."

In fact, Eric Hirshberg, the CEO of game publisher Activision today said; "We have a second expansion on the way ["The House of Wolves"], and a major content release coming in the fall. And a very robust pipeline planned after that." Actually, even before the official release of Destiny in September 2014, Bungie already declared that a major component of the game would be a continuous release of new content, part of the game's 10-year-plan, with Director of Production Jonty Barnes saying on record: "We're going to continuously update the game from now until the end of time. That's always going to be part of the philosophy of Destiny. We always wanted to build a new universe but keep building upon it, rather than to do a complete and utter restart periodically."

"The House of Wolves" follows Destiny's first DLC expansion pack, "The Dark Below," which launched on December 9, 2014. These planned add-ons are covered in the game's $35 Expansion Pass.
