Destiny: The Taken King Release Date, Price, & New Subclasses!

Alleged leaked marketing materials have revealed more details about Destiny's big expansion rumoured to hit in September, further adding weight to its long-rumoured name of The Taken King. According to the marketing sheet leaked to Kotaku and corroborated by the publication with other sources, The Taken King will launch September 15 for US$40. The new content will offer a new subclass and new elemental super ability for each of the three character classes. Warlocks will get an electrical storm (arc), Hunters will receive a gravity bow (void), while Titans will have a flaming hammer (solar). The expansion will introduce new Strikes, new PvP maps and, unlike last expansion House of Wolves, a new raid that was confirmed by Bungie in April. According to today's leak, the new raid boss is apparently Oryx, the father of Crota's End raid boss, Crota. Oryx heads a new class of enemies called the Taken as he seeks to strike revenge for the death of his son. Oryx can possibly control multiple enemy types, maybe even each one. He might "take" these enemies under his control, finding the best and most powerful from each race and adding them to his army. He'll then pit them against us in the raid and elsewhere. These enemies would essentially be mind controlled, thus more focused, and would not fight against each other.
