Destiny approaches! With a release date 4 months away, Halo developer Bungie's new game is getting so close that anticipation is reaching an absolute maximum. The backstory for Destiny sounds extremely exciting after a Golden Age of space exploration that lasted 700 years, something called "The Collapse" caused all space colonies to be forgotten and humans to nearly become extinct. The only reason they lived was because of the Traveler, a mysterious alien object that grants certain humans special powers. Destiny is a not an MMO per se, but rather a game that features an open world populated with only certain players the game matches you with. And what an open world it is the whole solar system is open for exploration, from ruined apocalyptic areas of Earth swarming with aliens to the former colonies on Mars and Venus. The Moon is also explorable, as are places as far away as Saturn due to each player having their own spaceship. Bungie's class system is very unique, offering up three different races: tough, hardy Humans, mythical elflike Awoken, and ominous, tireless Exo, inspired by the Terminator. Once the player chooses their race, they can also pick their class: Hunters, inspired by bounty hunters and Han Solo, Warlocks, a form of space wizard mixed with Jedi, and Titan, a powerful setup reminiscent of Master Chief. As the summer approaches and Destiny's beta prepares for release, gamers have much to be excited for, and the use of the beta should help ensure they have nothing to complain about when the game finally releases on September 9.
