Destiny's new raid, King's Fall, won't be available right away when The Taken King launches on September 15. Creative director Luke Smith says in a new interview that Bungie has a date in mind for when it will make the new raid available, but it won't be on day one.

　　"We definitely have a plan for when it's going to be available," he told IGN. "I'm not going to announce the plan for it [today at PAX Prime]. "But I promise for people who are excited about the raid will know when it's time to take time off work. We'll give em' a heads up."

　　King's Fall is "objectively and emphatically" Destiny's biggest raid ever--and has story implications, too.

　　"It is a journey that we hope players and their friends are going to remember," Smith said in a previous interview. "We're really excited about it, and we think it will raise the stakes again for what the raid team is asked to deliver next time. It's big."

　　Bungie has also repeatedly teased that King's Fall will include something new that the developer has referred to as "special" and a "twist." Pressed for more details, a Bungie developer said previously, "It's not just going to be Normal and Hard mode."

　　The Taken King makes major changes to the overall Destiny experience, including weapon balance tweaks and lots more. In addition, Bungie will push out a huge update for all systems on September 8; it's so large that it may make Destiny unplayable on some platforms.

　　Bungie will share more details on The Taken King this coming Wednesday, September 2, during an hour-long Twitch stream that will focus on the expansion's new Court of Oryx mode.
