Destiny Expansion Pack
Release Date: September 20, 2016
Another major expansion to the multiplayer FPS by Bungie Software, published in autumn 2014. Destiny: Rise of Iron is the first expansion available exclusively for the 8th generation of consoles and it requires the previous extension, called The Taken King, to work.
Destiny: Rise of Iron released on PS4 and XONE is another DLC for Destiny, published in 2014. The production is developed by Bungie and requires Destiny: The Taken King to work.
The plot focuses on destruction of the great wall located on southern border of Old Russia. The breach enables hordes of fallen mutants get into the thumbs of the Golden Age, filled with valuable artefacts. To make matters worse, the plague unearthed by the mutants poses a threat to everyone. Along with Lord Saladin, in Destiny: Rise of Iron players set off on a journey with the aim of stopping all the threats and by the way they learn the truth about the Iron Lords’ fate.
Published on PS4 and XONE, Destiny: Rise of Iron does not dramatically change mechanics and centres on the additional content. The DLC offers a new campaign with a whole set of new main and side missions. The game introduces additional weapons, armours, and other useful items. Also, the character’s maximum development level is raised.
The game features new terrains – The Plaguelands. There are also new locations designed for community interaction between players, known as Felwinter Peak.
During gameplay you face a new fraction of enemies and a few bosses. Additionally, the game features a new coop adventure – the Raid, designed for six players and a Strike mission for a team of three players. Destiny: Rise of Iron also offers something for PvP mode fans – the Crucible with a few additional modes and maps.

Destiny is a series of first-person shooters with a touch of MMO and RPG elements. The series combines a science fiction climate with fantasy elements: players take on the role of futuristic warriors using both firearms and supernatural powers. The main job here is to eliminate soldiers of alien races that serve the ancient cosmic Darkness. During the execution of missions, even the story missions, we can encounter other players and cooperate with them. The fun is accompanied by acquiring better and better weapons and armor, known from erpegs, as well as climbing to new experience levels and unlocking new skills.
Game Ratings for Destiny: Rise of Iron Video Game.
Eurogamer: by Tom Phillips
Destiny's uneven final expansion fails to build on The Taken King's advancements.
IGN: 6.2 / 10
Rise of Iron has just enough new content to keep me coming back for a while, but it feels like the bare minimum. When I wasn’t absentmindedly grinding against reskinned enemies until I couldn’t do it anymore, I was falling down the rabbit hole of side quests and trying out new weapons while patrolling the Plaguelands. The satisfying but still not groundbreaking raid is a decent reward at the end. I wish this expansion had focused more on fixing Destiny’s repetition problems, because it has a few good ideas — but with all its pitfalls, this is just Destiny going through the motions.
TheSixthAxis: 8 / 10 by Stefan L
Rise of Iron is an excellent expansion to Destiny, but it doesn’t have the same lasting impact on the game as The Taken King did. There’s not all that much for Bungie to fix this side of a fully fledged sequel, and so this DLC gets to focus on weaving a new story that delves into the game’s lore, providing hours of new content for the game’s fans to play time and again.
