But it&#8217;s not coming out on PC, and the studio says that&#8217;s because working on four console versions is already enough. Bungie doesn&#8217;t rule out releasing a PC version later.<\/p>\n<p>Destiny is a first person shooter, like Halo, but it&#8217;s online, multiplayer and has a lot of ideas taken from role playing games. So as well as action, there will be classes, lots of customization and leveling up as you would find in a game like <a href=\"http:\/\/world-of-warcraft.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">World of Warcraft<\/a>. It&#8217;s an ambitious game, although it does look very much like Halo. However, this is Bungie&#8217;s first game for Xbox and PlayStation, and they are releasing it on  the old and current generation consoles. Bungie says it&#8217;s too much risk to develop for a fifth platform at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>One of the complications for Bungie is that the game world is cross-platform: you will be playing in the same game world as players on other  platforms. Managing this between Xbox and PlayStation is tough enough for now, says Bungie.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not all bad news, as the studio says it loves PC gaming, and hasn&#8217;t ruled out developing it for PC in the future. We won&#8217;t be holding our breath though, as Bungie in the past gave PC development to other studios, and only the first two Halo games got PC releases.<\/p>\n<p>Destiny will be released on September 9th for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2014-04-28-bungie-explains-why-theres-still-no-pc-version-of-destiny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eurogamer<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>RELATED STORIES<\/p>\n<h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-playstation-4\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Everything you need to know about the PlayStation 4 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/more-details-leak-about-microsofts-voice-assistant-cortana\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">More details leak about Microsoft&#8217;s voice assistant &#8216;Cortana&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/features.en.softonic.com\/titanfall-the-next-gen-shooter-has-arrived\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Titanfall: the next-gen shooter has arrived<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bungie, the studio famed for creating Halo, is releasing its next game Destiny in September.
