| Bungie reveals the Destiny Rise of Iron release time on PS4 and Xbox One |
Destiny developer Bungie has confirmed launch plans and release times for the Rise of Iron expansion on Xbox One and PS4.
Bungie confirmed as much on the Destiny blog, telling fans where to find technical support should there be any launch issues.
"Deploying an expansion to a live piece of software ain’t like dusting crops.
"Without precise calculations, you could bounce too close to a rogue line of code, and that could end your trip real quick.
"Thankfully, Destiny Player Support is here to plot a safe course that leads us starside."
Bungie also told fans what to expect from the latest Hotfix to update 2.4.0.

Rise of Iron comes with new missions, a brand new area, new player-vs-player arenas and a game mode, new weapons and gear, and a brand new Raid - although the Raid won't go live until just after launch.
In the lead up to launch, Bungie has launched a mysterious alternative reality game in which Crucible players become infected.
Players were becoming infected with different strands of a mysterious virus, each with its own perks. The viruses are named: Brilliance 3.2, Glory 2.1, Splendor 2.6, Magnificence 2.0 and Fortitude 3.1.
The virus appears as a swarm of light around an infected player's head. Killing an infected player spreads the virus to a new Guardian.
The effects of the virus have been documented on a website called Owl Sector, which gives hourly updates in the run up to the launch of the Rise of Iron expansion.
