The next game from Bungie, the studio behind Halo, is set in
futuristic sci-fi universe where players take the role of a Guardian of
the last safe city on Earth, fighting mysterious alien foes on Earth and
beyond in a bid to reclaim mankind's lost territory.
Bungie also recently released a larger set of
Destiny screenshots showing a broader selection of people and places from the ambitious open-world shooter.
The
Destiny release date
has been confirmed as September 9 worldwide. Additionally, the studio
has announced that the Destiny beta will kick off "in the summer of
2014" and will be available first on PS3 and PS4.
Access codes for the beta are being sent to customers that pre-order
the game at "participating retailers worldwide". In the US, these
retailers include Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop and Walmart. In UK, the
list includes Amazon, Smyths, Tesco and Blockbuster.
Bungie has said it's
treating the Destiny beta like a full product launch in many ways. According to community manager Eric Osborne, it will include more than just a few maps to play on.
