Bungie has released a handful of new screenshots showcasing Destiny, its upcoming first-person shooter/Borderlands-ish action RPG. The screenshots are a part of the studio’s latest Mailsack blog post, which chronicled some new details on the game’s loot, crafting, and lack of AI friendlies.
“Why would you want to recruit a Non-Player Character, when the world of Destiny is populated with Guardians? Every hero from the last safe city on Earth will be driven by a living, thinking player with a racing pulse and an itchy trigger finger,” wrote Bungie. “You’ll come across characters bound to the software, of course, but your allies will be the other players who join you on your adventures.”
It also looks like the game will have some form of crafting system.
“The Tower will be a place where you can restore and upgrade your weapons and gear,” wrote the developer. “Some of the loot you capture on your missions will be items that you can equip or wield. Other treasures that you reap from the action you sow will be raw materials that you need to upgrade your inventory.
“The best thing is that your rewards will be pre-destined. The fates know what you need, and your fortunes will favor the brave.”
Destiny comes out on September 9 for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. There is no version planned for the PC.
