Destiny Rising RPG Announced, Takes Place In An Alternate Timeline In The Destiny Universe

NetEase and Bungie have announced an all-new Destiny mobile game called Destiny Rising. The sci-fi RPG is set in an "alternate timeline" in the Destiny universe, featuring what NetEase described as "best-in-class" shooting action on mobile.

The game promises a "brand-new adventure with familiar and new characters," along with "an abundance of classic and brand-new modes." A closed alpha test will begin in November--you can pre-register now. Check out the announcement trailer below, while a more in-depth developer preview video below can be seen further down the page.

In September, the existence of a Destiny mobile game from Bungie and NetEase leaked. It followed from the news in 2018 that NetEase would given Bungie $100 million to make non-Destiny games. Perhaps that arrangement has changed, as Destiny Rising is definitely a Destiny game, or there might be more in the works between Bungie and NetEase.

In addition to Destiny Rising, Bungie is working on a survival shooter called Marathon and apparently other projects as well. Bungie underwent significant changes in 2024, including mass layoffs that affected several senior staffers. Additionally, some inside Bungie are joining a new team within parent company Sony to create a new action game.
