New details, media for Destiny: House of Wolves – Prison of Elders

Bungie is hard at work showing off even more of Destiny’s House of Wolves expansion, right now, live via Twitch. But they’ve also released a bit more information ahead of time, along with a handful of new screens and a behind the scenes trailer for Prison of Elders.

To summarize the new PvE Prison of Elders activity, from the PS Blog:

House of Wolves introduces a new social space set in The Reef, a dilapidated base run by the Queen of the Awoken packed with new missions and new activities. In addition to five new story missions set all over the solar system, and a new Strike called The Shadow Thief, House of Wolves brings a muscular new PvE mode that aims to keep high-level co-op players fighting and looting. Watch our new video above to learn more.

In Prison of Elders, you?ll partner with fellow Guardians and attempt to survive a series of battles across many of Destiny?s toughest alien races, including Hive, Cabal, and more. Each encounter will be a bit different thanks to procedurally generated gameplay wrinkles, whether it?s different mission types, modifiers, or boss battles. Survive it all and your fireteam will gain access to the Queen?s treasure room ? and trust me, it?s worth the fuss. Devoted Prison of Elders fans can also unlock special challenges at levels 32, 34, and 35.

Take a look at the awesome new screens, the trailer and the embedded livestream too, and check back afterwards for a stream archive and additional expansion details.
