From the creators of Halo, Destiny is a first-person shooter (FPS) video game released worldwide on September 9, 2014. Destiny is set in a “mythic science fiction” world that offers Player versus Environment (PvE) along with Player versus Player (PvP) challenges. Players create characters called “Guardians” set in one of three classes:
- Hunter
- Warlock
- Titan
Once a Guardian is created, players can then undertake…
- Story Missions (Quests set in PvE)
- Three-Player Strikes (Enhanced Quest Missions set in PvE)
- Six-Player Raids (Original, Self-Contained, Enhanced PvE Missions)
- Free-Roam Patrols mode (PvE featuring public events)
- The Crucible (PvP Arena featuring a variety of deathmatch games)
Guardians serve as the protectors of Earth’s last safe city, operating from a central command called the Tower. The Guardians travel from planet to planet in the Sol System to investigate and destroy alien threats before humanity is completely wiped out.
