User blog:T3CHNOCIDE/Destiny: A brief explanation

Introduction
Towards the end of last month, final confirmation of a new game designed by the famed game studio, Bungie, had been released. This blog will take a brief look at what little we know of this elusive game entitled Destiny!

Back-story
Destiny is set 700 years in the future in the last human city on Earth. The solar system is desolate and littered with the ruins of humanity's 'golden age'. Players will step into the shoes of human 'knights' tasked with defending humanity from an unknown alien species, who have appeared in the galaxy from the distant reaches of the universe, intent on taking Earth. Meanwhile, a gigantic alien ship of unknown origin, and referred to only as "the Traveler", looms over Earths last city like a second moon; the ship's purpose and origin remain unknown, only that the ship is considered a protector.

Game-play
Game-play in Destiny will me less mature than that of Halo and Marathon with a universe that is as expansive and relatable as the Star Wars universe, which is "fun and accessible to all". The game will feature multiplayer and will lean towards social gameplay; this seems to confirm that Destiny will feature elements of standard massive multiplayer online (MMO) games. Destiny will be the first game of four, and is planed to be a shooter role playing game.

Release
An exact date has not been released, however sources suggest that Destiny will be arriving in stores during the fall of 2013, (should the Earth not end on the 21st), with the later games being released in 2015, 2017, 2019 respectively. Destiny will be available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with later releases being available for the Xbox 720.

Further Information
Destiny has been kept highly secretive, with the above information only being released by Bungie in order to confirm an apparently leak from a third party. After being queried for more information on Destiny by IGN, Bungie issued the following statement:
