The mobile version of Bungie’s popular first-person shooter, Destiny, is finally here, after years of anticipation. The developer, NetEase Games, has announced that Destiny: Pre registration is now open for rising. It’s a big deal for the franchise, which was created by Bungie, the makers of the Halo series, and released by Activision in 2014. This new mobile adaptation of the game is a successful spinoff of the idea of an open world shooter with exploration being the main theme of what is essentially the first game of its type.
Destiny: In Rising, we’ve set the story in an alternate timeline of the Destiny universe, introducing a new narrative, but keeping the familiar heroes and legends. All of this is similar to the original Destiny with campaign missions and six player co-op strikes. Players can expect a mix of single-player, cooperative and competitive multiplayer gameplay, as well as modes familiar to Destiny players, and new to the series.
Steps to Register for Destiny: Rising Closed Alpha Test
The closed alpha test for Destiny: Starting on November 1, rising is scheduled to begin and pre registration is now open. Players can pre register by visiting the official website, clicking on the ‘Pre register’ button on the top of the homepage and filling out the form with their mobile device details, region and email address. Keep in mind that just pre-registering won’t get you an early access since players will join a pool and some will be randomly picked to take part in the alpha test. The test is available in the beginning to players in USA and Canada, and additional regions will be added gradually.
Despite Bungie currently struggling, having laid off 220 jobs, NetEase Games has been collaborating on this mobile adaptation under Bungie’s official license. The release of Destiny: That’s a positive thing for the Destiny player base — it’s making the game easier to rise on mobile, which is a good thing.
The game boasts a shared world experience that starts off in the sanctuary of Haven, continues on in the icy ancient metro of Jiangshi and then stretches across the arid expanse of the Red Sea Rift. There will be a variety of characters players will meet, some well known from Destiny’s past and others you’ll never have seen before, all with their own unique abilities and stories. You can either play it in first person or third person perspective or with either a controller or touchscreen controls.
Destiny: But now, a new generation of Lightbearers will rise, out of the hands of mysterious Ghosts, to revive humanity and to set it back upon a course that will bring humanity prominence and insure a future. Set in the post Dark Age era (post tyranny), this new adventure sees humanity calling upon their allies once again to rally against alien forces that seek their very extinction.
Destiny fans are gearing up for the game’s closed alpha test as the excitement grows over the new chapter in the franchise. With its blend of familiar and new elements, Destiny: At Rising, we wanted to capture the magic of the original game while bringing a new mobile experience. If the game turns out to be a hit, there will be more room for mobile adaptations of popular console and PC games to spring up as the gaming industry grows.
