Bungie's hugely anticipated not-quite-an-MMO-but-definitely-an-MMO first-person shooter Destiny has been dated for 9th September on PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360.

A beta will launch next summer on PS4 and PS3.

Originally Destiny was expected to arrive around spring 2014, but no one really believed that. "Every new build brings us closer to our original vision," wrote community manager David "Deej" Dague on Bungie.net. "With those goals in sight, we intend to use every moment from now until the release of the game to ensure that Destiny lives up to your expectations, and our own."

"The early support and enthusiasm for Destiny has been inspiring and humbling. We believe this is the right decision for our game, our studio, and our passionate community."

For more information about Destiny, Oli Welsh went in depth with Bungie at E3 to find out what makes it stand apart from other MMOs - if it even is an MMO.

 
I'm still getting the old gen version.

360 and the One are still getting the beta aren't they?
 
There's enough spacing from Titanfall that makes me really like this date, since this is the other shootery-type game that looks intriguing enough to actually get and play.
 
Looks like I know what I'll be doing this summer. Playing the Destiny beta!
 
Ah, good. I was afraid that this game might come out as close to TitanFall game's release date. Also that'll give me more time to save up and get Xbox One version as well! Nice.
 
Kind of relieved by this. I was worried about too many games coming out in the March-April time frame next year. Now I have some room to play Titanfall and catch up on some older games.
 
I thought this game was "spring 2014". September means early fall. Looks like a 4-5 month delay. The VGX montage they showed looked good.

It may bite them in the butt though. I don't think there's tons of games coming out in the spring/summer. Releasing in the fall means it goes up against the usual batch of key sequels which Destiny may get buried under.
 
This is a win for MS. Destiny was going to be there to soften the blow for PS4 only owners, now Titanfall will be the definitive shooter for 6 months. MS may win the Spring/Summer. I'm talking about console only gamers. Yes, I know you can get it for PC if you're a pc gamer.
 
I am disappoint. Not like there are a lot of cool online games announced right now. September is mad far away. WTF.
