Destiny Release Date Announced & Beta Coming Summer
We’ve got some great news for Bungie fans waiting for a release date for their latest and highly anticipated project ‘Destiny’. Coming straight from bungie.net they have officially confirmed the release date for Destiny, as well as letting us know when the playable beta will be arriving.
Right let’s cut straight to the chase, Destiny will be available worldwide for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on Tuesday September 9th 2014. The beta will also be arriving this coming summer, first for the PS3 and PS4, then for the Xbox consoles shortly after.
Destiny is said to be an always online game, incorporating the FPS, RPG and MMO genre’s and is expected to blur the lines between online and offline campaigns. It’s most certainly an ambitious project, but would you really expect anything less from the folks at Bungie? I cannot wait to play this game; in fact I might put down my pre-order now, so that I’m all set for the beta this summer.
Below is the official statement from Bungie in regards to this exciting news:
We first shared the design pillars of Destiny less than one year ago. We promised to redefine what players should expect from a Bungie game. We said we wanted to change the way people play games together. We set our bar high. For us, Destiny represents a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Since then, Destiny has continued to reveal its promise. Every new build brings us closer to our original vision. With those goals in sight, we intend to use every moment from now until the release of the game to ensure that Destiny lives up to your expectations, and our own.
Today, in partnership with Activision, we are proud to announce that the worldwide launch of Destiny will happen on September 9th. Accordingly, the Destiny Beta will kick off in the summer of 2014, available first on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.
The early support and enthusiasm for Destiny has been inspiring and humbling. We believe this is the right decision for our game, our studio, and our passionate community. Thank you for coming along with us on this adventure.
See you starside.
