Player Class

In addition to choosing to play as one of several species, Destiny players will choose to play as one of several different player classes. Though each player class in Destiny has a distinct appearance, dress, and skill set, player classes are designed to be balanced, with no class intended to be clearly better overall than any other.

Three classes have been confirmed. Please visit the links below for more information:


 * Hunter - "Hunters once prowled the wilderness and wastelands, taking big risks for even bigger rewards. You're no outlaw—at least, not anymore—but making your own luck has always meant bending the rules."
 * Titan - "You hail from a long line of heroes, forged from strength and sacrifice. Our enemies may be deadly and merciless, but so are you."
 * Warlock - "Warlocks have long studied the Traveler, mastering some of its arcane energies. Its true purpose still remains a great mystery, but discovering truth has always driven you into the unknown."

A fourth possible "class", Vanguard, was briefly mentioned in IGN's write-up of the Reveal Press Conference. No other known article about the press conference mentioned the Vanguard class, giving rise to the belief that this was an error by the IGN reporter who covered the story. It is unconfirmed by Bungie whether this is an actual class, and Bungie has not commented either way.
