Destiny is an upcoming massively multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie. Unlike typical FPS games, Destiny will feature role-playing elements and as such has been likened to "World of Warcraft in space".[2] It has been reported that sequels will be released every two years through 2020, with downloadable "Comet" expansions released in the years between the main Destiny titles.[1] Destiny is confirmed to be released first for the Xbox 360[3] then for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Premise
Destiny is set in the 28th century in a post-apocalyptic setting. Humans had spread and colonised the Solar System, in a time later called the Golden Age. An event known as "the Collapse", an attack from an unknown faction or entity, saw the dissolution of these colonies and left mankind on the brink of extinction. The only known survivors of the Collapse are those living on Earth, who were saved by a spherical entity known simply as "the Traveler". The Traveler hovers above the last remaining human city, and its presence allows the Guardians of the City—the last defenders of the human race—the ability to wield an unknown power.[1]
Upon mankind's first attempt to repopulate and reconstruct after the Collapse, it is discovered that hostile alien races have occupied mankind's former colonies and civilizations. The player takes on the role of a Guardian of the City, and is tasked with investigating and destroying these threats before the remnants of humanity are completely wiped out.
