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, Bungie�s 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 Destiny�s 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 man�s Golden Age. A massive, mysterious alien ship hangs overhead like a second Moon. No one knows where it came from or what it�s here for, but only that it�s 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 Bungie�s 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.�
Destiny�s gameplay is described by the document as �social at its core,� offering �a world to explore with friends, both old and new.� It�s 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 that�s been purchased by Bungie, it could suggest that Destiny will ultimately be the game�s final name rather than a codename as previously speculated.
