About Destiny
Players are cast as Guardians of the last city on Earth, who
will traverse the ancient ruins of our solar system from the red
dunes of Mars to the lush jungles of Venus. Able to wield
incredible power, gamers must battle humanity’s enemies and reclaim
all that was lost during the collapse of mankind’s Golden Age. In a
story-driven universe, Destiny’s saga unfolds through grand
tales and epic adventures by immersing players in a bold new
universe filled with cooperative, competitive, public, and social
activities, all seamlessly connected. Destiny is not yet
rated by the ESRB.
