News: Get a small glimpse into Bungie’s newest franchise with this launch trailer for one of the most anticipated games of 2014.

Destiny’s launch is now approximately 2 ½ weeks away and earlier today Activision released the launch trailer to whet your appetite. The synopsis of the trailer is as follows:

“There are enemies out here you would not believe, but they’ve never seen anything like you. It doesn’t matter who you are, only what you will become.”

Destiny combines Bungie's trademark grand scope, sci-fi storytelling and adventures with visceral first-person action gaming that takes place in an unfolding, cinematic universe. Additionally, Destiny delivers a unique social gaming experience to consoles by offering players a connected, living world that they can explore, combined with vibrant social spaces where they can congregate and celebrate achievements, and share remarkable adventures grouped with friends or solo.

Set in the distant future, Destiny casts players as Guardians of the last city on Earth, who will traverse the ancient ruins of our solar system from the red dunes of Mars to the lush jungles of Venus. Able to wield incredible power, players must battle humanity's enemies and reclaim all that was lost during the collapse of mankind's Golden Age. In a story-driven universe, Destiny's saga unfolds through grand tales and sweeping adventures by immersing gamers in a bold new world filled with cooperative, competitive, public, and social activities, all seamlessly connected.
