Destiny's upcoming expansion The Taken King is bringing more than just story updates and Destiny's biggest raid ever in "King's Fall." The new content will also include an arsenal update Bungie calls "huge."

"We've got more weapons and gear than were in the shipping game back in September 2014," Bungie community and marketing relations manager Eric "Urk" Osborne told us.


Among the new arrivals will be "tons of new exotics," Osborne said, adding there will also be "tons of new gear" and new weapons.

Bungie showed off The Taken King content at Gamescom, including parts of the story mission "The Coming War." In it, "you can see the warlock gloves with electricity charging through them," Osborne said, teasing one of the new exotics coming in the expansion.

Osborne said that one of the things Bungie is doing with the new exoitcs is pairing them with "the things that you want to go after," making players think about ways the new gear used.

"We've got this existing set, and we've got a grounding that we know players love," Osborne added, saying Bungie is using that knowledge "to build some really cool stuff."
