New Hub, New Locations
In addition to the new story stuff, players will also have access to a brand new hub called Felwinter Peak. This one is located on Earth, and will act as a new base of operations where players can trade in their engrams, take on new quests, and stock up on whatever they need. Similar to the Reef that was introduced in House of Wolves, Felwinter Peak will be the third social hub available to Destiny players.
As mentioned previously, the Plaguelands is a new area on Earth that was previously off-limits to players. The Plaguelands are located near the Cosmodrome, and players will be able to fight the Fallen and other enemy variants there. The SIVA nanotechnology has completely ravaged the land, so you can expect to see some crazy stuff here – lava floors, huge alien towers, and more. Think of it as the new Dreadnaught area that was first introduced on Saturn with the Taken King expansion. There will also be blizzards and snowfalls on Earth, as well as wolves, but Bungie has sadly confirmed that players will not be able to interact with the wolves.
