Destiny's House of Wolves expansion, the second major DLC for the multiplayer shooter, has just received some more details about its new Prison of Elders mode, alongside a behind-the-scenes video that highlights the other aspects of the new add-on.

Destiny launched back in September of last year for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One platforms around the world. The multiplayer-only experience delighted quite a few people but also disappointed some who weren't that thrilled with the repetitive shooter action.

Even so, the title commands a loyal following that greatly enjoyed the new content released by Bungie for free, through updates, as well as The Dark Below expansion.

Prison of Elders brings intense co-op battles to Destiny

The second big add-on, House of Wolves, is set to debut this month, and now some fresh details have been shared about the special Prison of Elders cooperative experience that's coming in the DLC.

According to the PS blog, Prison of Elders aims to delight high-level players with great loot and an even greater challenge. They'll have to take on different enemies from the main opposing factions, like Hive, Cabal, or Vex.

However, unlike regular player-versus-environment (PvE) combat, Prison of Elders brings procedurally generated mechanics designed to change the mission types, the modifiers, or boss battles.

Besides promising better challenges for players in Destiny, the Prison of Elders mode also brings new rewards, as those who survive the battles will be invited into the treasure room of the Queen of the Awoken, which is filled with great loot. Those who thrive in the mode will also get special challenges at levels 32, 34, and 35.

You can also check out a special behind-the-scenes video with House of Wolves in action below, not to mention some screenshots showcasing the Prison of Elders cooperative mode in all its upcoming glory.

House of Wolves debuts for Destiny on May 19, worldwide.
