Featuring new story content, an additional raid, strike, weapons, armour, and more, Destiny: Rise of Iron has been announced with a release date of September 20. The expansion to Destiny, will take place in a new part of Earth called The Plaguelands, and will be available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for $44.95. Note that it will require the base game and all other DLC content, including last year's Taken King to run.

"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."

As per the quote there are still a lot of people that play Destiny on the reg, so this is definitely good news for them. As is the return of the Gjallarhorn, which is making a comeback for those that pre-order the expansion. Rise of Iron also marks the first bit of Destiny content that won't be made available for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.
