With just under a month before its September 15th release, Destiny’s third expansion is getting its biggest reveal yet. The Taken King will go live on Twitch today, and fans will get a great big helping of information about the new content.

Bungie detailed many of the changes and gameplay improvements coming to its addicting interplanetary MMOFPSRPG Destiny in a Twitch stream this afternoon. It was the first of three scheduled livestreams exploring the world of The Taken King
