Destiny: what House of Wolves brings to competitive multiplayer

Bungie has announced fresh details of its latest downloadable content, and we've played the new multiplayer maps and Trials of Osiris event

The Reef is open. That's the high concept behind House of Wolves, Destiny's second downloadable content package. The strange floating junkyard that players glimpsed all too briefly during the game's story missions will provide the core of the expansion, and the focus of its new competitive (PvP) and co-operative (PvE) content.

Here lurk the Awoken, a human race that once fled to the outer reaches of the galaxy when the period of glorious galactic expansion was brought to a cataclysmic end by The Darkness. Now the tribe lives among the abandoned remains of a thousand derelict starships, ruled over by a Game of Thrones-like royal family. The Fallen, one of the alien races seeking to invade Earth, has rebelled against the Awoken, and now their queen has enlisted the help of the Guardian to seek revenge: her key target, the Fallen sect known as the House of Wolves.
