Bungie’s Newest Game ‘Destiny’ Has Details Leaked! This Looks Huge!
An intrepid reader, someone on the inside most likely at Bungie, leaked a STACK of pics and details to our friends over at IGN. What follows is an intriguing series of photos with a few bites of delicious hickory smoked info.
Destiny is the first game from the famed Halo developer since their departure from the franchise. It is still a very sci-fi (SyFy) heavy game. From the document leaked to IGN:
Our story begins seven hundred years from now in the Last City on Earth, in a Solar System littered with the ruins of man’s Golden Age. A massive, mysterious alien ship hangs overhead like a second Moon. No one knows where it came from or what it’s here for, but only that it’s our protector. Meanwhile, strange, alien monsters creep in from the edge of the universe, determined to take Earth and the Last City. We are young ‘knights’ tasked with defending the remains of humanity, discovering the source of these monsters and – eventually – overcoming it.
IGN hasn’t shared the entire uncut document, but they have pointed out some interesting points. The leak says Destiny is geared to a diverse audience, specifically stating they want make it accessible to everyone, like the Star Wars universe. It also says that there is a large social aspect to the game, where players will explore the universe with friends.
When the story was posted Bungie responded by posting an image on their website, which has filled me with glee.
That is one BADASS piece of concept art. I personally love universes that look like this. Dirty, electronic, scary and full of that hard sci-fi flavor I love. No other details have been announced, but you can be guaranteed the Geekscape Gamer Guys and Gals will keep you updated as more info is released.
Be sure to head over to IGN for the full writeup, but in the meantime check out all of the collected art that has been released.
