An old rule of thumb when it comes to games is that if a bug exists, players will find it. There is nothing that can stop the might of thousands upon thousands of gamers plumbing every nook and cranny of a virtual world.
The latest game to be the “victim” of bug hunters is Destiny . Many users have found a bug that locks them out of the Tower, which you would assume would be a bad thing. However, when this bug occurs the map shows several new, yet locked, areas that aren’t part of the main game. Some of these areas have already been announced as DLC and they come with new events including new Story Missions, new Strikes, and new Raids. Note, that there are no new planets in this bug leak. All of the content exists on planets already included in the game.
Reddit User KilledbyDice has uploaded a full list of things discovered via this bug, which is as follows:

Bungie has, of course, taken notice, and has responded with this statement from David “DeeJ” Dague.
“We noticed that you noticed that we already have plans for upcoming content packs in Destiny. We do! They have activity names (which may or may not change) and we have a really good idea what they’re going to contain. They even have placeholder nodes in the Director, as you’ve already discovered.
But neither of the Expansion Packs we’ve announced are finished.
People at Bungie are hard at work to complete content for our first post launch pack, ‘The Dark Below,’ as I type these words. It will be finished soon. It releases in December. Soon, we’ll detail it out for you so you can see exactly what we’ve been working on.
Thanks for playing. Thanks for the passion. We know you want details. We’ll talk more soon.”
