President of Bungie Harold Ryan said: “Destinywas created as a living universe, which has allowed us to improve the experience post launch in real-time. It also gives us insight into the things players are looking for in new content.
“We’ve seen from feedback that people want new activities, gear and weapons and of course the immensely popular Raid. The community helps shape our development decisions and that’s really important to us.”
The Dark Below will be priced at £19.99 standalone, or is also available in the Season Pass (£34.99). The expansion pack is set to launch on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on Tuesday, December 9th, 2014.
