Destiny ‘Close to Shipping’, Marty O’Donnell Departure Will Not Affect Game

Destiny remains on track despite the departure of series composer Marty O’Donnell this past week.

In an interview with Eurogamer, Bungie COO Pete Parsons described Destiny as “close to shipping” and that O’Donnell’s music will still be featured in the game despite his absence from the company.

“I think the Bungie fanbase is going to look forward to hearing Marty’s music, Mike Salvatori’s music, C. Paul’s music and Paul McCartney’s music in the game,” Parsons said. “That’s going to be exciting for people. It’s going to be a great, fantastic experience.”

Parsons did not elaborate on O’Donnell’s departure, but said that it would not have any impact upon the game’s development.

“I believe people will be transported not just by the activities and the stories within the Destiny universe but by the sights and the wonderful sounds and music,” he said. “We have a fantastic team. We’re pretty close to shipping. There’s a lot of polish left to do, lots of tweaking and tuning, but a lot is already complete.”

Destiny is slated for a September release on on PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
