Destiny: The Taken King was revealed at E3 2015 but until today we didn't really have any details.

Here's the contents of the $40 expansion, direct from the Bungie Weekly Update:

- The most substantial injection of new, unique, and redesigned weapons, armor, and talents to date
- New subclasses with all new Supers and abilities

Bungie promised to provide details on all of this between now and The Taken King's September 15 launch date.
