Bungie announces ‘Destiny’ release date for September 2014

Since the debut of Destiny, the game has had the industry’s attention. While we’ve seen snippets of gameplay mostly in the form of a teaser, the main question has surfaced around the game’s release date.

That question has now been answered, as Destiny has been confirmed to release on September 9th, 2014. With the game releasing on 9/9, it seems likely that we’ll see a “Destiny Day” that takes place every September 9th throughout the course of the game’s life.

In addition to the announcement of Destiny’s release date, we also received a release window for the game’s beta.

Today, in partnership with Activision, we are proud to announce that the worldwide launch of Destiny will happen on September 9th. Accordingly, the Destiny Beta will kick off in the summer of 2014, available first on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.

With the game no longer launching in the Spring of 2014, it has, for now, what appears to be a much less competitive environment to compete for sales.
