Was Destiny 2 Forsaken's Black Armory DLC Release Date Leaked?
By Jeff Kotuby ·
Destiny 2 Forsaken's first DLC pack, Black Armory, has been a highly anticipated add-on to the game's first expansion. Could the official release date have been leaked earlier today?
Earlier today on r/destinythegame, a post revealing the leaked release date of Destiny 2: Forsaken's first add-on DLC, Black Armory. That post was deleted, but a new post skyrocketed to the top of the subreddit in its stead.
Original Post was deleted but Here is Black Armory Promo art + Release Date from r/DestinyTheGame
According to this photo posted by u/AntumTheNine, the Black Armory DLC pack will be released on December 4. Black Armory is the first DLC available in Destiny 2: Forsaken's "Annual Pass," a collection of three "premium content releases" that will offer new weapons, armor, missions, Exotics, activities, and tons more.
The image looks legit, but nothing can be confirmed until Bungie reveals the expansion themselves, which may take place during this week's "This Week at Bungie" post. Bungie's weekly updates fill players in on the latest Destiny related news and have sometimes served as the home for reveals. Generally, reveals are saved for Twitch streams, but those are also generally reserved for larger revelations.
What is the Black Armory?
We aren't sure of the lore implications regarding the Black Armory, but speculation and "leaks" have uncovered the potential of a game-changing addition to Destiny 2: Forsaken. The addition of a Black rarity, potentially even above that of the golden Exotic rarity, would (theoretically) be created for this expansion. The headline Black rarity item has been rumored to be The Last Word, the popular Western-styled Hand Cannon from the original Destiny. The Last Word was able to be fired automatically, and its Exotic perk gave it increased Stability and target acquisition when fired from the hip. Bungie could do worse than cashing in on the Western craze, spurred of course by Red Dead Redemption 2.
I guess we'll find out tomorrow if the leak was right, or if we'll have to wait even longer for Black Armory to come out. In any case, you have enough to keep your hands full, like getting your hands on Thunderlord, the Exotic Machine Gun!
