Destiny bug reveals expansion DLC
UPDATE: Bungie maintains that The Dark Below's development isn't finished yet.
UPDATE 29/09/2014 8.50pm: Bungie has officially confirmed that while this leak is part of its upcoming The Dark Below expansion, that doesn't mean that the content is already complete and on the disc.
"Neither of the Expansion Packs we've announced are finished," the developer stated on its official message board.
Bungie noted that The Dark Below's leaked missions are just the plans for the DLC and not necessarily the DLC itself. "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," Bungie stated.
"Soon, we'll detail it out for you so you can see exactly what we've been working on."
ORIGINAL STORY 29/09/2014 11.14am: A Destiny player has encountered a bug that appears to reveal planned downloadable content.
Irish player Ben Kinsella encountered a bug that prevented him from entering The Tower - Destiny's social hub.
But it also allowed him to view story missions, Strikes, PvP modes and Raids that are not in the game yet for everyone else.
Kinsella created the video, below, which shows off the new content, and Reddit user KilledbyDice has listed it all.

Much of the new content requires one of two planned expansions. The video shows that the Jovian Complex, for example, requires The Dark Below expansion, which is the first expansion for Destiny and is due out in December. It also shows a Moon Strike, for example, requires The House of Wolves expansion, already announced and due after The Dark Below.
We've asked Activision for comment.
