Destiny is an upcoming action role-playing first-person shooter video game in a "mythic science fiction" open world setting.It is developed by Bungie and published by Activision as part of a ten-year publishing deal.The game will be released on the PlayStation 3PlayStation 4,Xbox 360, and Xbox One video game consoles on September 9, 2014,with a Beta coming in the summer. The beta will be launching first on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.Bungie demoed live gameplay footage of Destiny at Sony's E3 2013 conference.
Bungie has emphasized that the universe of Destiny will be "alive". Events may happen in-game that are not necessarily controlled or planned by the developer, which will help to create a dynamic developing experience for Bungie and a dynamic playing experience for gamers. The game's style has been described as an always-online first-person shooter that will incorporate massively multiplayer online game (MMO) elements, but Bungie has avoided defining Destiny as a traditional MMO game.Instead, the game has been referred to as a "shared-world shooter,"as it lacks many of the characteristics of a traditional MMO game. For instance, rather than players being able to see and interact with all other players in the game or on a particular server—as is the case in many conventional MMO games—Destiny will include on-the-fly matchmaking that will allow players to see and interact only with other players with whom they are "matched" by the game.
Destiny will incorporate a new game engine that allows global illuminations and real-time dynamic lighting to occur together. An innovation in Bungie's "hopper" technology, which has been the backbone for Halo's matchmaking system, will allow better player matchmaking in order to create a more natural experience in either cooperative or competitive multiplayer modes.
