- Crota's End is available immediately upon starting the expansion, provided the player is a high enough level. The Undying Mind is also immediately available, provided the player has completed the story campaign from the base game.
- The expansion introduces a new Questing system. Quests are picked up from Eris Morn; the first three quests are the three story missions, followed by a choice of two different quests: the Disciples of Crota and the Urn of Sacrifice. These quests are stored as special bounties.
Trivia
The trademark for the expansion was filed in 2013. Activision had Blizzard Entertainment file the trademark,[9] which led to some confusion as to whether the expansion was related to World of Warcraft.[10]
