Activision Publishing and Bungie are collaborating to create a new game called Destiny. Destiny combines sci-fi storytelling and adventures with visceral first-person action gaming that takes place in an unfolding, cinematic universe.

Eric Hirshberg (CEO, Activision Publishing): Bungie defined first-person action games over a decade ago with Halo, and with Destiny they will evolve the genre once again.

Set in the distant future, Destiny casts players as Guardians of the last city on Earth, who will traverse the ancient ruins of its solar system from the red dunes of Mars to the lush jungles of Venus.

Destiny will be available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on December this year, but you can pre-order the game now.
