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 for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PlayStation 4, but is also expected to be released for the next Xbox console.[2]
