A number of Destiny players recently encountered a glitch on the map that locked him out of every mission, including the Tower, but also revealed every mission in the game, including some that are locked for two upcoming DLC expansions. (via Kotaku)

YouTube user Scott M posted the following video, exploring the map and highlighting all of the newly-revealed missions, some of which have been earmarked as “Expansion Required” for either The House of Wolves or The Dark Below, which have been previously announced as DLC expansions.

Each of the expansions, as summed up on NeoGAF, appears to be adding four or five new missions, two strikes, and one raid. The new content is spread across existing zones, including Earth, the Moon, and the Reef.

Bungie has released a statement regarding the leak, confirming that the DLC has been sketched out and placeholders are present to mark where the new missions are likely to be. The post emphasizes, though, that neither of the expansions are finished, and so some of these might change between now and when the first expansion, The Dark Below, comes out in December.

Destiny 2 is an extremely dense game. Before today, I'd played it for around 15 hours and already had that message imprinted deep in my brain. There's a ridiculous amount of content in this game, so many locations to visit and nonplayable characters to talk to. For a new player, it's all overwhelming. It's why I struggled to start playing the game to begin with. It floods you with so many icons and pop-ups that you'll immediately want a simpler experience.

Guardians from Destiny 2

Sony is in the process of acquiring Bungie, and while that's a pretty big deal for the games industry, anyone who doesn't play Bungie's games may not have much of a reason to care. For Destiny players though, the acquisition throws the franchise's entire future into the air.
