Destiny is an upcoming first-person shooter video game from Marathon, Myth, and Halo creator Bungie. As part of a ten-year publishing deal with Activision, Destiny will be published by Activision on the Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The contract between Activision and Bungie sets a target of Q3/Q4 2013 for the release of the first Destiny game. Although there has been no confirmation that the game will be released on time, provisional listings on retail sites suggest a European release date of October 6, 2013.
Bungie calls Destiny the world’s first shared world shooter. Similar to the structure of a massively multiplayer RPG, Destiny is always online, with players working together and apart in order to craft their own stories and pursue their own goals. Bungie didn’t talk about microtransactions, or even the initial cost of the game, but it was quick to establish that although the game will not be free to play, it will not require a monthly fee.

Info
Destiny takes place on the planet Earth, but well into the future when a mysterious weapon destroyed most of the planet and its inhabitants at the end of humanity’s Golden Age. One city remains, however, surviving thanks to the intervention of The Traveler. The Traveler is a gigantic moon shaped ship that looms over the Earth’s last surviving city. No one knows what The Traveler is, or where it came from, but it saved humanity by making sure a small population survived.
Players take on the roles of The Guardians, the protectors of the city who receive power from the Traveler. Each player creates his or her own guardian and can customize everything about them, including their appearance, class, weapons, and ship. Bungie didn’t divulge the differentiations between each class, but it spoke of hunters, titans, and warlocks. As a protector of the city, you live in a persistent and changing world, venturing into the Earth’s ruins on missions to explore and collect loot. You can even venture outside of Earth to visit the other planets of our solar system like Venus and Mars. Ambiguous powers emanate from The Traveler, empowering Earth’s Guardians with a magical force. It sounds similar to Star Wars’ Force powers, but even at this very early preliminary stage, Bungie’s new world feels distinct.
