Bungie Finds Problem With Destiny Update, House Of Wolves Release May Be Affected
Bungie has shared an update with the Destiny community that may have implications for Tuesday’s planned expansion rollout. House of Wolves is due on May 19, but a technical problem may impact that.
The issue stems from a recently discovered technical issue with update 1.2.0, which was issued last week but not yet activated. Engineers have since discovered a problem.
“I’ve spoken with the finest minds at Bungie about Update 1.2.0 just moments ago,” writes community manager David “Deej” Dague. “They're working to correct a late-breaking technical issue that would have impacted the way the game launches for a large portion of you. Progress is being made.”
Dague indicates that there may be some change in the House of Wolves rollout as a result. “We'll be sharing new details on the deployment schedule that leads to House of Wolves as soon as they become facts,” he says. “At the very least, you'll hear from me once a day about this. Hang in there, and thank you for your patience.”
