As reported by Eurogamer on Monday, June 23, bigwig publisher Activision revealed that the PlayStation-exclusive content for Bungie’s upcoming shooter Destiny will remain exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 platforms until “ Fall 2015 .”
However, Activision later contacted Eurogamer to redact this statement. The publisher then said that, for now, it has yet to officially announce any details concerning the exclusivity of Destiny’s platform-specific content.
According to Eurogamer, Destiny’s PlayStation-exclusive content was believed to be a “ timed exclusive until at least Fall 2015 ” due to listings on both the PlayStation Store and an Amazon page last week.
We’ll bring you more information on Destiny’s PlayStation-exclusive content should further details reach our ears. As a refresher, a list of the PlayStation-exclusive content has been detailed below.
Maps:
Dust Palace Strike: An exclusive three-player cooperative Strike that can be played with friends or match made. You’ll track a Cabal extraction team through the husks of an ancient human skyscraper, the Dust Palace, buried in the shifting dunes of Mars and face a new enemy, the Psion Flayers.
Exodus Blue Competitive Multiplayer Map: A mid-sized Crucible arena that pairs perfectly with Control and Skirmish game modes. The Exodus Blue, a long-dead vessel, once brought hope and humanity to worlds beyond Earth. Here, Guardians challenge one another, forging a new hope and future in the fires of the Crucible.
Gear:
Warlock – Manifold Seeker: Armor that was built to help Warlocks survive the secret realms of the Vex.
Titan – Vanir: A battle-tested armor set forged to protect Titans against the heavy firepower of the Cabal.
Hunter – Argus: A durable all-environment wire-weave for those out to scout the frontier.
Weapons:
Monte Carlo: An exotic assault rifle, is a handcrafted showpiece with a sleek look that masks the cruel reality of its function–the efficient elegant delivery of war against any who would tarnish its legacy. Upgrades increase the weapon’s “hip fire” effectiveness and boost melee cool down, providing a firm grounding for close range domination.
Hawkmoon: An exotic hand cannon, is a true gunslinger’s weapon–a smooth sidearm that makes every bullet count with intricate “hawk feather” etchings carved into the weapon’s silvered barrel. Damage boosts increase the combat effectiveness, making it a formidable weapon.
Ships:
Aurora Wake : A hull lined with arcane instruments, crafted by a circle of Warlocks – gifting the ship with a preternatural sense for the strange.
Crypt Hammer : A deep-strike insertion variant, built to carry Guardians safely through contested space. Carries hardpoints once used to hold Suros TL-SEAD anti-radiation missiles.
Outrageous Fortune : A rugged, versatile explorer for those ready to gamble everything in search of ancient secrets and alien power.
Destiny is slated to launch worldwide on Tuesday, September 9 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360. The game’s Open Beta will be available on Thursday, July 17. A PC version of Destiny is currently “ a heavy point of discussion. ”
