That didn't take long. Just hours after Bungie released the latest patch for Destiny--1.1.2--players have mined the update and found what might be new details about the game's upcoming expansion, House of Wolves. The details are rounded up in this Reddit post. According to the post, House of Wolves will add two new social spaces--Queen's Bay and Halls of Amentet--along with one new Strike called The Shadow Thief. House of Wolves will also reportedly add three new story missions, three quests, and up to five new PvP maps. Bungie said earlier this week that House of Wolves will not include a new Raid. However, Destiny will introduce The Prison of Elders, a new co-op endgame activity, through House of Wolves. The Prison of Elders is described as a new activity "focused on variety, replayability, and skill." Also discovered in the Destiny 1.1.2 patch notes were 46 ship schematics and references to Treasure Maps, among other things. Check out the Reddit post for lots more on what might be coming to Destiny by way of the House of Wolves expansion. One thing to note here is that, of course, this information is not coming directly from Bungie and could change. Responding to an earlier House of Wolves leak in February, Bungie's community manager David "Deej" Dague urged caution to fans when looking at leaks of this nature, saying, "anything you know about [House of Wolves] can change." Officially, Bungie has committed to the scheduled listed below for when it will announce new information about Destiny's House of Wolves expansion. The add-on launches May 19 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. It's included with Destiny's $35 Expansion Pass--which also includes December's The Dark Below add-on--or can be purchased individually for $20.
