Apologizing to fans in a Weekly Update following The Taken King controversies, Bungie revealed that Destiny

Players who already own Destiny and both expansion packs will now be able to pick up the content in a US$20 upgrade bundle on September 15. Those who grab the stand-alone version of The Taken King or the Legendary Edition at retail can also get the content pack. Loading

The Taken King Collector’s Edition Digital Content pack consists of the three class specific emotes, three armor shaders and three exotic class items with XP bonuses.

Year One players who already have a Light Level 30 Guardian, or both expansions, will receive an exclusive set of Year One items (shown below). This includes an emblem, a shader and a black Sparrow, with the developer promising “more fun stuff” soon.

The Taken King creative director Luke Smith also took to today’s Weekly Update following a recent interview with Eurogamer about the US$40 expansion.



“Anyone who knows me knows I can be a sarcastic, anyone who remembers podcasts I've done knows that I can be pretty blunt, and anyone who’s watched me in a ViDoc knows I'm pretty unpolished. However, most of you don't know me. Reading my interview with Eurogamer and imagining it came from some random developer of a game I love - that random developer looks like an Asshat. But that Asshat was me - and those words rightfully anger you. I'm sorry. My words made it sound as if Bungie doesn't care about their most loyal fans. We do care. We are listening. And we will make it right.”

Bungie plans to announce more details in a Weekly Update tomorrow. The developer recently confirmed that it will release extra content for platforms once Sony's timed-exclusives expire later this year.
