This interview with Harold Ryan goes in depth with Destiny's story criticisms, the content of the new DLC, and addresses the recent leaks.

All the important content details:

-Release date: December 9, for $19.99/£19.99 if you don't buy the Season Pass,

-Light cap raised to 32, with new armor, weapons and "gear" added to the game. No specification on what the gear will be, beyond stating that "the new gear will facilitate progression beyond 30."
Armor:

Weapons:

(That Dragon's Breath rocket launcher...)

-Five new bounty slots for faster leveling,

-New NPC, Eris. Gives Hive-based story missions from the tower, including "three new missions where you can increase your Light and get new rewards".

-Strike will be called "The Will of Crota" with boss "Omnigul",

(Note how she's not a giant wizard...)

-Playstation exclusive strike "The Undying Mind", set in the Black Garden, with an exclusive Exotic item as well.

-"Crota's End" raid will not be available at launch, much like the Vault of Glass.

-Three new Crucible maps:

Pantheon, set in the Black Garden inside a Vex temple with tight corridors.
Skyshock, an old interplanetary defense array.
The Cauldron, an abandoned Hive ritual site focused on close combat.
