Bungie Discusses New Content, Multiplayer Changes, the Future of Destiny

Destiny came up short in many departments following its 2014 launch, including exploration. Exploring Earth, Venus, Mars and the Moon was supposed to be exciting, but ended up being a chore.

It was the third week which meant the Gauntlet room was up first; a room I hadn’t encountered yet.
