Destiny Pre-Orders Post Huge Numbers, New Expansion Revealed

Activision took to the stage at GamesCom today to talk a little about Destiny exactly one month before its release. First, they announced that Destiny has become the most pre-ordered new IP in GameStops history. This should come as no surprise given the rabid response to the beta last month and bodes well for those picking it up in September.

Second, they showcased a new trailer for the multiplayer and what to expect from the Crucible while revealing that the ‘Exodus Blue’ map will be a Playstation timed exclusive. Watch the trailer below.

Finally, they revealed that Destiny’s first expansion already has a release date. ‘The Dark Below’ is set for a December release across all platforms. The fact that the game still has four week until release and the expansion is already announced shows just how much excitement is building for this one. Stay tuned for more Destiny coverage as the game rolls out.
