Utvikler Bungie har nå løftet sløret for de første detaljene om det nye Patrol-område, Dreadnaught, i den kommende Destiny-utvidelsen The Taken King. På selskapets nettsider skriver nemlig Senior Artist Andrew Hopps følgende:
- It was important to us that you would feel the scale as you moved through the hulls of the Dreadnaught, never sure about what to expect as large spaces condensed to claustrophobic tunnels before revealing entirely new areas of the ship. A sense of wonder about the unknown is what drove a lot of the spatial design. It was an incredibly fun challenge to find the right balance between a mysterious tomb ship and the flagship for the Taken fleet - to capture the idea of this unfathomable threat, a monstrous spaceship captained by the Taken King, yet filled with vast caverns and unknown passages. I can't wait for players to explore and discover all of its secrets.
Han får selskap av kollega Ben Wommack, en annen designer, som går nærmere inn på gamplay:
- Way back during the planning of the Dreadnaught's design, Luke Smith challenged us to create "an inscrutable loot-filled fortress." That challenge was an awesome piece of direction, and went a long way towards inspiring our efforts. We had an opportunity to improve upon the design of our worlds in Destiny, and the results are evidence of how excited this made us. We've created a suite of new mechanics and woven them into the Patrol mode. Every week, every day even, it will draw you back to fight through to its depths for loot and glory. Expect to find new Bounties, Patrol Missions, and Public Events both large and small-some of which you can even instigate yourself, if you can discover how.
The Taken King skal lanseres den 15. september. Sjekk ut vildene fra utvidelsen her:
