As Bungie wraps up development on the forthcoming Destiny: Rise of Iron expansion, publisher Activision is readying an all-in-one retail package that collects all of the game’s add-on content released to date.
A listing for Destiny: The Collection surfaced on Amazon on Monday for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Players can pre-order the package for $60 ahead of its launch in September.
“If you’ve missed out on any of the adventures that we’ve delivered to date, we’re excited to announce Destiny: The Collection,” Bungie community manager David Dague said. “Think of it as a loot crate that will help you bounce back into the action. This bundle contains everything we’ve ever released into the world Destiny, including Rise of Iron. It even has a consumable that will boost your character to combat-ready status.”
Rise of Iron is the latest major expansion for Bungie’s sci-fi first-person shooter Destiny, following up on 2015’s add-on The Taken King. The upcoming expansion will add new missions, raids, and competitive multiplayer maps, and will also mark the return of the legendary Gjallarhorn weapon.
Destiny: The Collection includes all content featured in the original 2014 version of Destiny, along with material from the expansions The Dark Below: House of Wolves, The Taken King, and Rise of Iron. Also included in the package is a digital code that will automatically upgrade a Destiny character to level 40, giving players an easy way to access late-game and expanded content.
Bungie recently ended support for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of Destiny, locking Rise of Iron and all future content to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The studio announced Monday that PlayStation 3 Destiny players looking to upgrade to the PS4 edition can pick up a digital copy of Destiny: The Collection at a discount.
“Players who own Destiny: The Taken King can take advantage of a digital upgrade path on the PS4,” Bungie’s Dague saidd. “Access the digital store on your new console, where you’ll find Destiny: The Collection on sale for $40. We hope you’ll continue with us on this journey, so we’re making it a little easier to keep up.”
Destiny: Rise of Iron and Destiny: The Collection are slated to launch on September 20.

I’ve played every major Zelda game, here’s what The Legend of Zelda movie needs to get right
In terms of iconic pop culture heroes, Link is up there with Luke Skywalker, Frodo Baggins, and Superman. While Benjamin Evan Ainsworth has proven himself capable enough to lead The Legend of Zelda's cast, adapting Link’s character for the big screen is a challenge. For much of the Zelda franchise, Link is depicted as a silent protagonist who serves as a stand-in for the player. However, that doesn't mean Link isn't a unique character. Each version of Link has a distinct story, but they are all known for their incredible courage, loyalty, and dedication to protecting the innocent. However, he has also shown many times that he can be silly, reckless, rageful, guilty, and tempted by greed. Link doesn’t necessarily have to speak in the film to appeal to audiences. However, he just can't be a one-dimensional fantasy hero. We have to see how multifaceted a person Link is as he grows and reacts to everything, carrying such a heavy burden as the Hero of Hyrule. Zelda should share the adventure with Link
