Bungie has confirmed that Destiny will be released on September 9, 2014.

In a post on the game’s official site, Bungie community manager DeeJ wrote that Destiny “has always represented a new beginning for our team. It was born from brave possibilities. We dreamed of a renewed and independent Bungie. We found partners willing to bet big on some crazy new ideas with us.”

“We first shared the design pillars of Destiny less than one year ago,” the post continues. “We promised to redefine what players should expect from a Bungie game. We said we wanted to change the way people play games together. We set our bar high. For us, Destiny represents a once in a lifetime opportunity. Since then, Destiny has continued to reveal its promise. Every new build brings us closer to our original vision. With those goals in sight, we intend to use every moment from now until the release of the game to ensure that Destiny lives up to your expectations, and our own.”

Destiny’s beta will start in summer 2014 and, as Bungie previously announced, it will come first to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 players.

"The early support and enthusiasm for Destiny has been inspiring and humbling," DeeJ concluded. "We believe this is the right decision for our game, our studio, and our passionate community. Thank you for coming along with us on this adventure. See you starside."

Sooo far away. Then again I probably wouldnt be able to afford a system till then anyway. It seems like a good game.

I can't wait for it, personally. Always wanted there to be a Halo type game on the Playstation.

Videos of it look sweet so far too.

I like it cause it's a FPS RPG.

I'm shit at first person shooters

Hah

Well to be fair, FPS like Halo aren't too difficult. I mean, they're by no means easy, but easier to learn how to play as compared to like CoD or Battlefield.
