As the most popular console game of the current generation so far,Destiny is going to continue to be a deciding point for console gamers for at least he next six months. At launch it was clear Sony wanted everyone to know that the best place to play Destiny was going to be on the PlayStation 4. Bungie just announced the release date for the first DLC pack for this epic shooter, and it’s clear Sony is still maneuvering for exclusive content.
We already knew that Destiny launched with two different DLC packs in the pipeline, and now it looks like the first of these content bundles is set to arrive on December 9th. The Dark Below includes new story missions that will send you all over the existing zones, including back to Earth to stop Hive zealots from summoning their god Crota. You might remember using his sword in one of the early missions, and the implication here is that the rest of him is just as badass. There’s also a level cap bump to 32, and the addition of a bunch of new equipment and strike missions.
Where things get a little messy is all of the new content that is only available on PlayStation consoles until August 2015. These exclusives include a strike mission called The Undying Mind, as well as unique exotic gear and a handful of other goodies that have yet to be announced. Come August, Xbox players should likely expect a free DLC pack with the content that has been exclusive to Sony. If you’re an Xbox player, though, it could be worse: you could be one of the thousands of PC players wondering why this game doesn’t exist in mouse-and-keyboard land yet.
