335 Light, Taken PoE, King’s Fall Update & More..Will this get you back on playing Destiny?

So bungie has officially revealed what is coming on their Spring update that is due on April 12th..But the question is, will these add-ons attract you to playing Destiny again? Now go check out the upcoming updates on Destiny: The Taken King below:

“Claim an Elders’ Sigil from Variks each week in The Reef, and put your Fireteam to the test against three consecutive boss waves. The bosses and the gameplay modifiers change each week, for a total of sixteen unique encounters. Your score is tracked on the Elders’ Sigil, and on Bungie.net Leaderboards.”

With Oryx dead, a new threat will be emerging from the Taken ranks. Malok, which Bungie insisted on stream is pronounced “Muh-lock”, appears to be the main protagonist in the new strike coming in the April update.

Malok will have several abilities, which we have seen before, but he will be using them against us in new and unique ways.

Bungie showed off a few new quest lines during the live stream. The first, At the Gates, is centered around helping Variks fight the now leader-less Taken that have scattered across the solar system. According to the in-game description seen on the stream, we will be hunting a Taken boss who is looking to seize power for himself. The quest begins with a mission named Pretender to the Throne, which takes place on the Dreadnaught.

The Second quest we see is titled Return to the Prison and will involve fighting in the newly updated Prison of Elders.

There was an additional PlayStation exclusive quest offered by Petra. This quest involves gathering what is called “Essence of Darkness” for Court of Oryx champions, and stipulates that the more challenging Champions contain more Essence.

The description for this task reads, “The Reef’s spies are reporting a resurgence of Taken activity in the Court of Oryx, and they say they’ve recovered some very powerful technology from these Taken. 

In addition to Ships and Sparrows, we’ll be getting some cool new cosmetic options for our weapons. While they are holding some information close to the vest, there have been several new cosmetic items featured in screenshots that can be seen below.

At the end of this GameInformer interview, it was revealed that “new vanity options” will be available for armor as well.

The Archon Priest is back, but even he could not escape the Taken’s grasp. The Priest will be returning in an updated version of the Winter’s Run strike, complete with taken enemies, and a battleground that has been redesigned by the Live Team.

For those who have played Winter’s Run before and think they know the Archon Priest’s game plan, Bungie confirmed on their live stream the he won’t just wearing a Taken costume. He’ll have a host of new abilities for challengers to face.

In an interview with GameInformer, Ryan P. shared that “both current difficulties will be adjusted to provide additional challenge and commensurate rewards. The Challenge Modes will still be available, but we aren’t adding a third difficulty tier, or any new encounters.”

Now with all these new stuff, are you excited on playing Destiny again?
