Bungie Reveal Destiny, Release New Video Revealing Story, Your Character And More

Bungie have revealed Destiny in a video documentary. no platforms are announced in this video and there is no release date either. however, this video does reveal key elements of the story. 

Destiny is set on earth, an earth ravaged by some oppressive force. people from Earth used to travel the solar system and had a golden age, but this was brought to an abrupt end by some unknown force that nearly wiped out life on earth. that is until the traveler arrived, apparently using it's own life force to save mankind.

since then, the travelers ship has stayed located just above earth and a new city has been built underneath. the people of earth are once again exploring their planet, but what they are finding isn't that friendly. that's where you, the player comes in. you play as a guardian, someone who has a small amount of power the traveler had. you have to defend the city and defeat the enemies of earth to reclaim it.



The Video features several pieces of artwork and concept art of Earth, music and some possible in-game cinematics. Bungie reveal they have a 10 year plan for the series and the video shows some sort of social media and iPhone App integration to the game to help set up multiplayer between players and keep up to date with the game.

Concept Art


Update
Amazon.com currently lists Destiny as coming to both the PS3 and Xbox 360. Amazon lists them as coming out on 31st December, which is most likely a placeholder. as the release date is a placeholder...i guess there is some chance that Destiny could be coming to other unannounced platforms.
