Rise of Iron

Rise of Iron is the fourth and final expansion for the original Destiny, released September 20, 2016, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is set in the Plaguelands, a walled-off, winterized, SIVA-infested section of the Cosmodrome in old Russia on Earth. The Fallen have breached the Wall protecting Earth's last safe city and are using SIVA, a self-replicating Golden Age nanotechnology.

Guardians join Lord Saladin as the new Iron Lords, who gave their lives over a century earlier to contain SIVA. The base is Felwinter Peak, where the Iron Temple sits. The threat comes from the Devil Splicers, a bio-engineering faction of the Fallen House of Devils that uses SIVA to strengthen itself.

The expansion's raid, Wrath of the Machine, has a fireteam infiltrate the Wall, fight through Vosik and a Siege Engine, and defeat Aksis, who has fused himself with SIVA.

Metacritic rated the game "mixed or average" (72 on PS4, 73 on Xbox One). Critics praised the breadth of content and the raid but criticized the weak story, recycled areas and the Supremacy mode.
