Bungie Destiny News: Release Date Revealed for Game [Trailer]

Destiny is one of the most anticipated games coming in 2014, and developer Bungie has now announced when gamers can expect the game to launch. The developer announced on the game's official webpage that the game will be available on Sept. 9, 2014, giving gamers a date to look forward to for the Halo developer's new IP.

The post, written by Bungie's community manager Deej first explained how important Destiny is to Bungie and how hard the team at Bungie is working on the game to make their original vision of Destiny a reality:

"Destiny has always represented a new beginning for our team. It was born from brave possibilities. We dreamed of a renewed and independent Bungie. We found partners willing to bet big on some crazy new ideas with us. We first shared the design pillars of Destiny less than one year ago. We promised to redefine what players should expect from a Bungie game. We said we wanted to change the way people play games together. We set our bar high. For us, Destiny represents a once in a lifetime opportunity. Since then, Destiny has continued to reveal its promise. Every new build brings us closer to our original vision. With those goals in sight, we intend to use every moment from now until the release of the game to ensure that Destiny lives up to your expectations, and our own."

From there Bungie announced both the release date for the game, as well as when the beta program for the game will begin and what consoles will have access to the beta first:

"Today, in partnership with Activision, we are proud to announce that the worldwide launch of Destiny will happen on September 9th. Accordingly, the Destiny Beta will kick off in the summer of 2014, available first on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. The early support and enthusiasm for Destiny has been inspiring and humbling. We believe this is the right decision for our game, our studio, and our passionate community. Thank you for coming along with us on this adventure."

Bungie is one of the games that gamers are looking forward to the most, and the heavily hyped game is expected to do big business for Bungie and publisher Activision. The game will allow users to walk into events that others are dealing with as well as introduce RPG elements to Bungie's traditional first person shooter gameplay.
