SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bungie and Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), announced Destiny: Rise
of Iron,
the next highly-anticipated, large expansion in the Destiny
universe. Building upon the legacy of Destiny, this
new chapter draws players back to where their journey was born and
entices them to join alongside one of Destiny’s greatest heroes
to battle an ancient enemy from the past. Rise of Iron launches
on September 20, 2016 and will be available for the PlayStation®4 system
and Xbox One (PlayStation®Plus, Xbox Live Gold, required for some
features). Requires Destiny game and The Taken King

Rise of Iron is an exciting addition to the Destiny
universe,” said Pete Parsons, CEO of Bungie. “We are continually blown
away and inspired by the growing Destiny community’s energy and
enthusiasm.”

“We have been working hard with our partners at Bungie and are planning
great, new content for Destiny’s 30 million registered players. Rise
of Iron
is the first step in fulfilling that promise,” said Eric
Hirshberg, CEO of Activision. “There’s a ton of content packed in Rise
of Iron
, including a new location, a new Raid and a new Strike,
combined with more quests, weapons, gear, a competitive multiplayer mode
and more that we think players are going to love.”

Guardians must rise to the challenge to take their place as the next
generation of Iron Lords. Along the way they will join forces with a
legend from humanity’s Golden Age to defeat a plague of unstoppable evil
once and for all. The game features a collection of fresh content
including an all-new setting on Earth called The Plaguelands, a
brand-new six-player Raid, Felwinter Peak, a new social space that looks
out onto The Plaguelands, new cooperative three-player Strike, more
quests, weapons, gear, competitive multiplayer mode and maps, a Light
level increase, a new mutated enemy faction of the Fallen, and more.

a fan favorite weapon making its return. Those players who preorder
beginning June 9th will receive the limited-edition, black
and silver Iron Gjallarhorn.*
