Destiny players can throw themselves into the shooter's toughest challenge ahead of Halloween.

Destiny: The Taken King introduced a pretty great new raid, which is tough enough that many players haven't even started it yet.

Meanwhile, those that have already conquered it and plundered its treasures have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the hard mode for King's Fall. It had originally been expected to launch on October 30, but Bungie has brought it forward to October 23.

According to the latest Bungie Weekly Update, you'll be able to get going from 10:00am PT. Recommended Light is 300 to 320, and loot will drop in the 310 to 320 range.

Anyway, prepare by running the base difficulty; our King's Fall raid guide should be a help.
