Destiny players can now expect to see some new update coming their way on 20 November, 2014. These will include the return of Iron Banner and voice chat into matchmaking.
Bungie listed the features on its official website and said that the voice chat will be on beta testing from 17 November, 2014. Players will be able to automatically activate it or they can toggle it switching on or off during the session.
Apart from that, players will also be able to make the choice of making calls public or fireteam chat only. Bungie has said that the feature will be available on Strikes, but it is yet to be seen if it will also be on PVP content.
Another feature that is making a comeback is the Iron Banner. It said said, "Lord Saladin is poised for a return to the Tower. This time, his reappearance will be intentional. After a surprise ambush during what was supposed to be his sabbatical, we sent him packing again. More work was left to be done to realise his new potential."
Bungie promised that it will give a day's advance notice to players before it releases the content. Below is the content that will be included in Iron Banner 2.0:
