The Taken King, formerly known as The Comet, is the 3rd and largest expansion for Destiny. It is scheduled to release on September 15, 2015. Unlike previous expansions, The Taken King will come in disc-form, similar to vanilla Destiny. It will not only increase the base level from 20 to 50 but also add 1 extra subclass for each class. Additionally, The Taken King will add 2 new types of weapons and a new Patrol location on a Hive ship called The Dreadnaught.

The story is about Oryx, The Taken King looking to to avenge the death of his son, Crota. Players will battle Oryx and his army, The Taken.

A dark shadow has fallen over our worlds. Oryx, The Taken King, is hell-bent on vengeance and is raising an army of corrupted “Taken” forces by manipulating the Darkness itself. You must find a way into his impenetrable Dreadnaught ship to defeat The Taken King before he and his dark army consume our civilization and bring our solar system to ruin.
