We’ve Seen Under 10% of Destiny, Beta Announcement at E3

Last Updated: May 2, 2014

New details about Destiny continue to emerge, including the answers to some of fans’ most important questions. For example, if you’re just dying to play competitively, we’ve learned that you won’t be able to do so right away. You have to play a couple of hours of the before PvP is unlocked, because Destiny’s developers found that without such a restriction in place, people testing the game in the studio would jump into PvP as soon as possible and “just get really beaten up by the other players because they didn’t have a super ability yet and they’d only got an auto rifle from the first mission,” which left them with a negative impression.

Once you unlock PvP with one character, however, it will remain unlocked for your account, even when you create new characters.

But as interesting as competitive gaming is, it isn’t the big issue fans have been wondering about. No, possibly the biggest Destiny question fans have right now is: “When do we get to play the beta?” Well, Bungie didn’t answer that question in the latest round of Q&A, but now we know when it will be answered.

Bungie will “release information about the beta” at E3, where they’ll also share new multiplayer details.

Additionally, even though it feels like we’ve been hit with a flood of information about Destiny, we’ve barely seen anything. When asked what percentage of the game has been revealed, Bungie replied “it’s a single digit.” That’s fantastic, and we can’t wait to see what else this universe has in store.
