Comet

Comets are planned expansion packs for the Destiny franchise, one for each game, and released in the year between the games. Due to this, the first expected Comet was to be released in 2015. The others were expected to be released in 2017, 2019 and 2021. It has since been stated that the first Destiny game will receive two expansion packs. These expansions are not to be confused with comets.

Trivia
A supposedly leaked slate from a Bungie conference labels an expansion titled "Comet: Plague of Darkness," to be released in 2015. This expansion will supposedly feature new subclasses, weapon types, Crucible maps, story missions, and locations. Comets differentiate themselves from other expansions such as The Dark Below in that they offer significantly more content and progress the main story of the game further, as well as reveal brand new explorable spaces such as a Hive ship. The leaked content also states that the expansion includes 12 story missions, 4 strikes, 1 raid, 1 new public event, and 6 pvp maps. This expansion later became known as The Taken King.
