Courtesy of Activision, it is now no secret that the light level cap will now be raised to level 32, which you can now reach with the multitude of sweet legendary and exotic items that are going to be available come the release of “The Dark Below.”

There will also be a new six person raid entitled “Crota’s End” that is set even deeper within the hellmouth than The Summoning Pits.

The new DLC will also bring forth three new multiplayer arenas:

  • Pantheon – set deep within the Black Garden in an ancient Vex temple that features Vex-designed landscapes and tight corridors
  • Skyshock – an old interplanetary defence array that offers both vehicle and infantry engagements
  • The Cauldron – an abandoned Hive ritual site that offers close-quarter combat

Alongside a multitude of new missions and quests from a new character, Eris, found in the tower, there is also a new strike to be excited about. The strike, “The Will of Crota” pits you and your Fireteam against Omnigul ,a superior hive Wizard, as she works to expand the Hive army at the command of Crota, her master.

There will also be another PlayStation 4 exclusive strike to go along with the exclusive strike PlayStation 4 players received with the original version of the game. This exclusive strike, “The Undying Mind,” will come with other exclusive content that has not yet been revealed at this time.

The expansion will be available separately for $20, or as part of the Destiny’s Expansion Pass, on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on December 9. Be prepared Guardians!

Born a gamer, living a gamers life, and will die a gamer. I vividly recall playing Mortal Kombat 1 for the first time, I just happened to be 4 years old. Thankfully I didn't grow up to become a psycho who rips peoples hearts out, I grew up to be a writer, which is significantly less violent. However In my spare time I do rip people's hearts out via my Xbox 360 or PlayStation 4. A down to earth college student looking to get his start in video game writing.
