When Destiny’s The Taken King comes out on September 15th, it’s going to be adding so many features and making so many changes that it might make the game feel brand-new.
In a livestream yesterday Bungie revealed a couple of dozen of features that will be making their way into the expansion. Existing characters will get a new overall level based on their best gear, and Destiny will switch over to a traditional XP-based leveling system with a cap of 40. You will want to be level 25 to get into The Taken King content, although those who buy the expansion will get an item to bump a character to that level.
Among the new toys that players will get to play with is an improved bounty system, additional ghosts, a collection feature, purchasable faction gear, field test weapons, more vault space, more dances, and the ability to wield swords. Swords in space! Truly, we live in glorious times.
