Bungie has shared their last update prior to the launch of Destiny The Taken King.
They did take the opportunity to celebrate the original launch, but their idea of celebrating is checking up on users whether they’ve downloaded Update 2.0 or not. They take the time to remind players, once again, that Update 2.0 is mandatory to keep playing the game whether owners bought The Taken King or not. The most likely reason for this is that the servers are getting moved, but one way or the other, everyone has to update.
For now, the Crucible is getting a The Taken King preview with Rift, as well as Mayhem Clash.
Curiously enough, the most interesting part of this week’s post is the soundtrack, but if you’ve been following the news, you know why. After the Music of the Spheres and the Marty O’Donnell lawsuit, Bungie has assembled a completely different team for the music of Destiny. Now they revealed that they will be releasing the soundtrack for The Taken King. Credited here are Michael Salvatori, C Paul J9ohnson, and Skye Lewin. The soundtrack will be available digitally on Amazon and iTunes, and there will be physical version on the Bungie store.
Finally, Bungie acknowledged several bugs in Update 2.0 itself, and they assured fans that they are now working on it. You can read the full list of bugs below.
Destiny The Taken King will be released on September 15, 2015 on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. You can check out the latest live action trailer above.
- Some players are able to access Emblems & Shaders from the SUROS Arsenal Pack, the Weapons Pack, and the Collector’s Edition Exotic Guardian Class Items before September 15, 2015. All items will be made available to eligible players when Destiny: The Taken King launches on September 15, 2015.
- The Exotic Guardian Class Items, which are included in Destiny: The Taken King Collector’s Edition, will be available to all eligible players when Destiny: The Taken King launches. Any missing Exotic Class Items will be re-issued appropriately.
- We’re aware of an issue where Patrols and Vanguard Legacy Strike Playlist activities are not granting Faction Reputation and expected rewards upon completion. This issue will be resolved when the Destiny: The Taken King is released on September 15, 2015.
- Please note: Reputation and rewards for affected Patrol and Strike playlist activities completed before September 15 will not be retroactively granted.
- Players who have pledged their time and energy to attain level 25 or higher on a Faction will get access to a Faction Quest. Unfortunately, upon completion, this Quest cannot yet be turned into the issuing Faction. When Destiny: The Taken King is released, players who have completed this Quest will be able to successfully turn it in.
- There appears to be some confusion surrounding the new sub-class emblems that can be found in the EmblemCollection. The new emblems, which can be found under The Taken King sub-heading, are new emblems that require the completion of certain content and/or Bounties that will be released when Destiny: The Taken King launches. Players who complete their new sub-class Quests do not qualify for these emblems yet. There will more steps to complete, starting on September 15.
