Bungie is rolling out the second expansion pack for "Destiny" called "The House of Wolves" in the second quarter of 2015. The developer said that it is likely April, May or June when they will "have a new adventure to embark upon with you." This, of course, does not help at all. Unfortunately, the game studio believes it is too early to give a scoop on what the forthcoming DLC will bring to the table. 

"We're keeping all other details under wraps for now," Bungie's Deej wrote in the company's official blog. "There is a special team here that's dedicated to creating some new ways for you to play Destiny. They're also making the game you know a better reflection of what we've learned about you since you've started playing."

Bungie intends to "explore the possibilities" within the expansion pack as they take gamers on board in putting the add-on together. It also promised to keep them all up to speed on what's happening.

Meanwhile, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg poked its patrons' curiosity about its future plans even more. Apart from "The House of Wolves" DLC pack, "a major content release" is also coming out by fall and also "a very robust pipeline planned after that." A more accurate, mind-boggling description for the future project is that it is a "Lord of the Rings-sized vision." 

The Internet has previously feasted on a leak that gave away the publisher's plan that spans a whole decade. One that caught the biggest attention of gamers is a DLC pack codenamed "Comet." The alleged expansion pack is exceptionally huge (with multiple maps and more missions than usual) as it is the size of a standalone game already. One of Hirshberg's cryptic remarks should at least point to that if the monstrous expansion pack is a real deal. 

The folks behind "Destiny" sure know how to pique gamers' interest. But for now, fans can rely on and dream about the leaks from Reddit user megamanexe4 pertaining to the purported set of in-game goodies like new Exotics, raid sets, vendor gears, rich artillery and brand new full-scale missions "The House of Wolves" is expected to haul. A separate leak from the Japanese gamer also point to a possible May 2015 release. Although unfounded, the images from the tipster appear unbelievably genuine.
