This leak corroborates, or capitalizes on, leaked screenshots that allegedly appeared on GameStop and Amazon store pages late last week featuring the same name. While not shown in these new photos, the expansion’s listed release date was previously reported to be Tuesday, May 8. Ironically, while these two leaks appear to be related, they directly contradict the very first Destiny 2 DLC 2 leak from late December. At that time evidence from the PlayStation Store and described an expansion called Gods Of Mars set to release in March.
As for this new description, it sounds just reasonable enough to be real. Mars is a beloved location from the first Destiny, so going back there for DLC makes plenty of sense. Leveraging an existing map layout would also theoretically allow Bungie to create new content relatively quickly. Especially when trying to add a huge chunk of plot to such a complex game, any push toward faster iteration would be a pretty smart play.
The described story arc ties back to box art that surfaced long before the game’s release as well. In early April, Destiny 2’s Xbox store page clearly featured Rasputin’s Warmind logo when purchasing the game’s Gold Edition that includes the season pass. In other words, all the dots seem to connect to the speculation and facts we already know.
That being said, establishing those sorts of links is precisely what well-crafted fake leaks attempt to do. This steady stream of single screenshots of live store pages (ostensibly accessible to millions of people) doesn’t do much to establish credibility. The photos aren’t very clear either, which could deliberately conceal any possible evidence that these pictures may not be genuine. We’re unsure how to feel about this Fallen Warmind chatter, but it may be worth keeping in the back of your mind.
Destiny 2 is available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC. The game’s second DLC pack is confirmed to release this spring.
