Destiny April Update Dated and Detailed
Increased maximum Light, new PVE challenges, and new and updated gear to come in the update.
Those waiting for Destiny Update 2.2.0 won't have to wait more than a month, as the newly-named "April Update" arrives on April 12 with a number of new things for players.
Developer Bungie announced the date in "This Week at Bungie" on its website. Some details were also given about what players can expect to find when the launches next month.
Destiny players will get new PVE challenges, new and updated gear, and a new quest featuring the Blighted Chalice Strike, among other things. Players can expect to see an increase to their maximum Light and rewards, as well as updates to the Sandbox and Crucible.
Bungie included a picture of three guardians that look a lot like the Taken, though the company did not announce a shader inspired by the Destiny enemies. We'll keep you updated if more information becomes available.
