Bungie's Destiny Story Details, Concept Art Leaked - IGN
Leaked materials provided to IGN by a reader have revealed story details and concept art from Destiny, Bungies follow-up to the Halo franchise. Bungie has confirmed to IGN that the document was prepared by an advertising agency and represents an outside look at Destinys plot, key values and more.
According to the document, Our story begins seven hundred years from now in the Last City on Earth, in a Solar System littered with the ruins of mans Golden Age. A massive, mysterious alien ship hangs overhead like a second Moon. No one knows where it came from or what its here for, but only that its our protector. Meanwhile, strange, alien monsters creep in from the edge of the universe, determined to take Earth and the Last City. We are young knights tasked with defending the remains of humanity, discovering the source of these monsters and eventually overcoming it. Elsewhere in the document, the massive alien ship is referred to as the Traveler.
Destiny is further described as fun and accessible to all, aiming to create a universe as deep, tangible and relatable as that of the Star Wars franchise. Based on the language in the document, it appears that Bungie aims to create a universe accessible to multiple demographics, perhaps suggesting that Destiny will be less mature than Bungies efforts with Halo. A quote from Bungie co-founder Jason Jones says Destiny is designed for your inner seven year old. We want to make it feel like a mythic adventure.
Destinys gameplay is described by the document as social at its core, offering a world to explore with friends, both old and new. Its unclear whether this confirms comments from Bungie in 2011 that the game is an MMO, which Bungie later called a joke. The document also includes a Destiny logo along with Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 icons, as well as the URL Destiny.com. While Destiny.com is currently password-protected, if it is indeed a URL thats been purchased by Bungie, it could suggest that Destiny will ultimately be the games final name rather than a codename as previously speculated.
