Destiny, one of the most beloved franchises from PlayStation, is finally making its way into the mobile gaming world. The new game, Destiny: Rising, developed by Bungie in collaboration with NetEase, promises to bring an exciting new chapter to the series and will be available for free.

Destiny: Rising Announced

Bungie and NetEase Games have officially revealed their latest project, Destiny: Rising. This mobile game will transport players into an alternate timeline of the Destiny universe, exploring the period known as the Dark Age — a time that follows humanity's collapse.

The game is set in Destiny’s early stages, long before the rise of Guardians or the establishment of the Last City. Players will embark on a quest to find key individuals believed to shape the future of humanity after the collapse. Iconic enemies like the Hive, Fallen, and Vex will return, making for intense battles across beloved Destiny maps.

Key Features of Destiny: Rising

Pre-Set Characters: Unlike the main Destiny titles, Destiny: Rising will introduce predefined characters. Fan-favorite characters such as Ikora Rey will be featured alongside new heroes with unique abilities and backstories.

Immersive Gameplay: The game is designed for smartphones and tablets, offering a touch-control interface and controller support. Players can experience the game from both first-person and third-person perspectives, allowing for a fully immersive mobile experience.

New Stories in the Destiny Universe: According to NetEase, Destiny: Rising is more than just a mobile spin-off. The game will offer new stories set in the Destiny universe, with players given the chance to explore and shape the lore of this pivotal period.

Multiplayer Modes and Upcoming Tests

Six-Player Coop Raids: In true Destiny fashion, Destiny: Rising will feature cooperative gameplay. Six-player coop raids will challenge players to work together to defeat powerful enemies and overcome difficult missions.

Competitive and Coop Multiplayer: Beyond the story mode, players will be able to engage in competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes, offering a range of different ways to play with or against others.

Alpha Testing Begins November 1st: Early access to Destiny: Rising will begin with an alpha test starting on November 1st. During this period, only a portion of the main story will be available, but players can expect at least one map for each game mode to be accessible. This will allow players to test out the core mechanics and provide feedback to developers.
