The Taken arrive early in Destiny

Oryx, the Taken King, isn't expected to arrive in Destiny until tomorrow, with the release of the game's next expansion, but it looks like a few of his servants have arrived a bit early. And damn are they scary.

Over the weekend, YouTuber funkyfxxker was doing bounties on Earth when he uncovered a unique bounty (11 minute mark). "I have scouts on coms yapping about inbound taken. They don't sound too pleased," the incoming message reads. "Get to these coordinates quick."  Upon traveling to the required location, the player encounters some mysterious new enemies — the Taken (12 minute mark). Check out the event below.

It appears the Taken are currently too high of a level to beat at the moment, instantly one-shotting the Guardians, but that should change with the release of The Taken King expansion tomorrow. This seems like more of an easter egg to give players lucky enough to discover this bounty a sneak peek at the new enemies arriving.
