Bungie will announce new Destiny Exotics for The Taken King today, August 25, the developer has teased. Destiny's in-game vendor, Xûr, will make the announcement on Instagram.

　　"My will is not my own, Guardian," reads Xur quote on Instagram. "The Nine have commanded me to reveal Exotic treasures you may discover in your future. I will speak with you [on August 25]."

　　Exotics are items of incredible rarity in Destiny, and thus are highly coveted. Bungie previously announced that The Taken King would introduce "a bunch of brand new" Exotics and Exotic Blueprints. In addition, Bungie is "redesigning and redeploying" select existing Exotics, but not Gjallarhorn.
