Destiny Rising is the name of an upcoming Destiny mobile game.[1]
Plot
Rising is a prequel to the original Destiny. According to one report, the game takes place during the time of the Warlords,[1] placing Rising during the Dark Age and/or City Age.
Gameplay
Contradictory reports exist as to the nature of Rising. It has been stated to be a third-person shooter, yet also mirrors the gameplay of prior Destiny games, which are first-person.The game is hero-focused, where players take control of characters from the history of Destiny, plus new ones. The game reportedly has missions, strikes and possibly even a raid.[1]
Development
Rising was codenamed "Viper" during development.[2] Work on Rising had begun by 2022 at the latest, based on a very old investment deal with Bungie.[1] Initially, Bungie was heavily involved with the project, but after negotiations fell through, Bungie scaled back its involvement. In/around 2024, Bungie's involvement with Rising was limited to narrative and support, offering visual assets such as character models and assets. Only around 5 Bungie staff were working on Rising in/around this year.[2] NetEase meanwhile focused on gameplay.[1]
The existence of Rising was first reported in 2022.[3] Job listings for a Destiny mobile game existed as far back as 2021.[4]
Trivia
- Comparisons have been made between Destiny Rising and Diablo Immortal, in that both are mobile spinoffs developed by NetEase.[1]
- According to some reports, the game is "100% aimed at the Asian market;" an apparent reference to the game having microtransactions.[1]
