'''Comets''' were planned expansion packs for the ''[[Destiny]]'' franchise. They were intended to bridge the gaps between the releases of the main installments of the series, and would have included more substantial content than a normal expansion. Comets were expected to be released in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2021.<ref>[http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/ingame/halo-creators-working-their-destiny-787783 '''NBC News''' ''Halo creators working their Destiny'']</ref><ref>[http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/07/07/first-look-destiny-collectors-editions/#sf3597571 '''Playstation Blog''': First Look Destiny Collector's Edition]</ref>

Comets are planned expansion packs for the [[Destiny]] games, one for each game, and released in the year between the games.


To date, ''Destiny'' has received four expansions and one update: ''[[The Dark Below]]'', ''[[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]]'', ''[[The Taken King]]'' (the ''[[April Update]]'') and ''[[Rise of Iron]]''. While ''The Taken King'' fits the description of a Comet and was even called "Comet: Plague of Darkness" during an early stage of development,<ref>[http://au.ign.com/articles/2015/01/05/alleged-destiny-leak-reveals-possible-2015-expansion-plans '''IGN''' - ''ALLEGED DESTINY LEAK REVEALS POSSIBLE 2015 EXPANSION PLANS'']</ref> it was never identified as one in its pre-release marketing. In late 2013, the Comet that became ''The Taken King'' had an entirely different direction: it would have added [[Europa]] and the [[European Dead Zone]] as new locations. Those locations were dropped in March 2014 in favor of the [[Dreadnaught]] and an unidentified area on [[Mars]]. The Mars area was later cut for inclusion in ''[[Destiny 2]]'', while the remainder of the Comet focused solely on the Dreadnaught.<ref>[http://kotaku.com/the-messy-true-story-behind-the-making-of-destiny-1737556731 '''Kotaku''' - ''The Messy, True Story Behind The Making Of Destiny'']</ref> It was presumably during this stage of development that ''The Taken King'' became known as an expansion rather than a Comet. It is unlikely any future expansions will be called "Comets", as the moniker appears to have been discarded entirely by Bungie.
This information was released because of a lawsuit between [[Activision]] and Infinity Ward.
