Bungie's upcoming sci-fi shooter MMO Destiny will not be coming in 2013, according to a press release that publisher Activision sent out this morning. The release explains that Destiny is not included in Activision's 2013 outlook and "there should be no speculation or expectation of a different result".
The release also reiterated that Destiny is confirmed for "the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, as well as other future console platforms", which presumably means the next Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
With the PlayStation 4 announcement presumably happening this Wednesday, and early speculation pointing to a Holiday 2013 launch frame for both the new Xbox and PlayStation 4, that means Destiny will not be a next-gen launch title.
For reference, Activision's fiscal year ends December 31, 2013, so this doesn't look like financial double speak either. If this release is read as final and binding, we won't see Destiny in 2013.
Yesterday, Activision and Bungie took the wraps off of Destiny with a first trailer and details.
It's possible Activision could revise its release window for Destiny once the full next-gen console announcements occur. So when do you think Bungie's next big thing will come out? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
