The popular game Destiny has had a lot of success with their initial release and their expansion of The Dark Below. They will have another expansion this summer with House of Wolves, not to mention the high anticipation of Destiny 2. Here is what we know of the release date, news, and rumors.

The video game industry moves fast. A game everyone’s talking about today can become a foggy memory in just a matter of weeks. The best chance most games have at success happens right around launch. One game, however, is bucking that trend: Destiny.

The latest weekly update on the Bungie blog indicates gamers won’t have to wait much longer for information, with news regarding a release date expected before the end of the month.

Are you new to Destiny? Don't know what any of this means? Good news! There's a Destiny wiki that's packed with information. Click on through for details on what Strikes are, and how Nightfall differs from Weekly Heroic challenges.

Bungie recently released some important details for the "Destiny" upcoming Patch 1.1.2. Slated to be released alongside the game's upcoming second expansion, House of Wolves, the said update will see changes on raids, strikes and improvements on player usage.

On forums and in other community venues, both hardcore and casual players will attest to that sentiment, yet somehow, both fan bases still chug along, min-maxing their stats, grinding out faction reputation for a chance at extremely rare cosmetic items, or chasing that one elusive gun.

Who wants to dance? Your Destiny character does, that's who. As part of Bungie's April Fools' Day prank, your Destiny character is locked into a constant state of dancing on Bungie.net.

However, most of these “cheeses” have been regularly patched out of Destiny in an attempt to keep players on the straight and narrow path. Once the Templar exploit was patched out, however, players found far fewer ways to exploit the raid as a whole.

“Destiny” may be looking at new bounties in the future, specifically some new Queen’s Wrath Bounties. This is if new unearthed information via data mining is to be believed.

The House of Wolves was originally set to hit download markets in March, but was postponed by Bungie and has yet to be given a set release date. An arrival window has been set between April 1 and June 30, which could mean the release could be set for this month.

Detailed on the Bungie blog, Inferno Clash will contain a few characteristics that were present in Inferno Control mode but has a heavier emphasis on scoring kills.

These include Angry (enemies don’t flinch), Epic (heavily shielded and plentiful enemies), Juggler (no ammo for your currently equipped weapon), Void Burn (void damage is greatly increased and this works for both you and your enemies) and Nightfall (return to orbit once your entire team dies in a Darkness Zone).
