LOS ANGELES -- Destiny is set to get even bigger this fall with The Taken King.

Larger than a typical expansion but not quite a sequel, The Taken King introduces a new enemy faction -- The Taken -- led by a powerful foe connected to one of the game's significant boss characters.

Bungie's initial reveal during Sony's PlayStation E3 press conference amounted to little more than a trailer, which laid out the basic story and revealed a few new facts. Notably, all three of the game's main character classes get a third, all-new subclass, complete with its own unique super ability.
