Destiny fans rejoice; thanks to a massive leak of images (48 to be exact), we’ve been able to get our first good look at House of Wolves, the upcoming DLC for PS3 and PS4 (and those other consoles). According to the leaked info, Destiny: House of Wolves will launch on May 19 where previous rumors had pegged a March timeframe. If true, it only means more time for the team at Bungie to work on the new DLC, which is just fine in my book. So what can we expected from the new DLC besides new zones and maps? How about a level 39 cap to go along with a slew of new gear. As it is with such things, take the rumors with a grain of salt as they are subject to change which is the same message Bungie has for gamers.

After the jump, the response from Bungie and the drool worthy images.

From Bungie, a cheeky and appropriate response:

 Whoa! Look at all that pretty armor! What could it all mean?

I know that rampant speculation will burn for a while on this topic. As you enjoy a conversation about the pearls of information that can be lifted from this, please bear a few things in mind…

1. Aside from giving it a name, Bungie has yet to reveal the House of Wolves. That means that anything you know about it can change. We have a team working on the experience in their own fancy room, and they have some exciting surprises up their sleeves.

2. We reserve the right to overwrite anything you’re looking at right now. These placeholder items enable us to save room on your drive for actual future updates. You’ll all download them before it’s time to play.

3. Any stats or assumptions about power or impact or handsomeness are months old, and do not reflect the things that we’re doing to adapt to what you’ve taught us about Destiny. There is a process here, and you’re a part of it.

Leaks are fun. I totally get it. Please discuss to your heart’s content. All we ask is that you leave your mind open to the evolutions that are inevitable. What you see here are very old ghosts from our pre-launch database. These are not the necessarily wolves you’re looking for.

DeeJ, out. 

When leaks happen (and they’re bound to on such massive games like Destiny which involve hundreds of people) it’s always good thing when a developer doesn’t freak out. If anything, a candid response such as the one above helps establish further credibility with gamers. In this case, Bungie is being honest with gamers while addressing the matter about as quickly as you could expect them to formulate a proper response on paper screen. Without further ado, the 48 pictures from Destiny: House of Wolves.
