Pre-registration is now live for Destiny: Rising, a mobile sci-fi RPG shooter set in an alternate timeline of the Destiny universe. The game introduces players to a new era of heroes, each equipped with unique abilities and weapons, fighting to secure humanity’s future. The first closed alpha is set for November 2024, and players can pre-register for a chance to participate.

A Fresh Take on the Destiny Universe

Set in a time before the Guardians, Destiny: Rising explores a different narrative from the original Destiny games on PC and consoles. Players can choose from a roster of pre-designed heroes, each with distinct abilities, rather than customizing their own. These characters, both new and familiar, are tailored for PvE and PvP gameplay, providing multiple ways to engage with the game's missions, raids, and battles.

Gameplay Features

Destiny: Rising offers:

• First-person and third-person perspectives, with touch controls and external controller support.

• Single-player missions, six-player cooperative raids, and continuous PvE and PvP combat.

• A new class of rare weapons called "Mystic" and a weapon type known as "Jewels", providing fresh gameplay elements for strategic depth.

Story and Setting

The game is set after a major alien invasion, in a period where humanity is recovering. Players navigate a time before the rise of the Guardians, where Lightbearers are just discovering their powers. This setting is filled with mystery and exploration, allowing players to piece together the history and challenges of this era through both grand adventures and smaller personal stories.

Visuals and Development

The official trailer showcases real in-game footage, offering a glimpse of the high-quality graphics and fluid combat expected from  Destiny: Rising. Developed by NetEase, with a significant investment, the game aims to provide a fresh yet familiar experience for both veterans of the Destiny series and new players. Bungie’s involvement ensures continuity with the original lore, while NetEase’s team brings a creative new vision to mobile.

Conclusion

 Destiny: Rising blends familiar gameplay with new characters, weapons, and storylines, bringing the Destiny universe to mobile devices. With its closed alpha coming in November, pre-registration is now available for those eager to be among the first to explore this new chapter.
