Destiny: Rising (Mobile) announced

[Yurinka]

How does this not have a PS port? You would think after the success w Hoyoverse mobile game releasing simultaneously w mobile that PS own first party ip would release on PS4 & PS5.

Maybe because unlike in the Hoyoverse case here they have a better console game designed for console and this one is designed for mobile, and being a shooter to merge mobile and console in PVP wouldn't be fair. And well, they may not want both games to compete against each other.

The genres of Hoyoverse are more slow paced and require less precision and skill when playing, so can be adapted and merge better both versions, could even make PvP between both versions.

I assume in the future after Destiny 2 and this game, maybe the next one will be designed to be properly played in both versions.

If it success it is free money to Sony.

This is not a good thing.
Blizzard died because WoW printed money in the early 2000s. They sat on arse and didn't innovate.

If Sony takes in cash from mobile for free they can take their foot of the gas in other areas

Looks like it isn't too far off, of they have an Alpha in November.

First 1/2 of 2025?

Blizzard never innovated. They always took established genres and put a Blizzard spit and finish on them. Warcraft was just better versions of Dune II on PC. You probably didn't realize this because when you were a kid your first Blizzard games were likely your first foray into certain genres.

I think H2 is more likely, and will depend on the ganme's performance and metrics in the first countries where it is being soft launched.

Mobile games may take over a year fine tuning and tweaking it before releasing it worldwide (but we may see it here before in a beta or something). Many don't ever achieve the full worldwide release. But in this case being Bungie and Netease I think it will work well.

Willing to bet this destiny rising game somehow gets a PC version skipping PS would be hilarious & further cement the investment & transition in moving to PC.

Destiny PC players are begging for a PC port. PS could get hella value of there 4+ billion dollar acquisition & get not only PC players but Xbox destiny players to get a PS console & play destiny rising get 100% from mtx which this game will be heavily I’m talking heavily monetize since it’s from NetEase.

Not having a PS port is honestly a miss opportunity even if it’s a mobile game Nintendo being pushing in getting many mobile game to there console. Even there own first party game like Pokemon unite which is a mobile game first received a console port allowing Nintendo console players to play on console the same mobile game.

Hell it be funny if this destiny rising mobile game was playable on Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 but not on PS but seeing how brain dead Sony/PS leadership has been I wouldn’t be surprised if that happen. Or if Xbox is more like a PC I could see software on PC that allows you to play mobile games on PC being able to be played on a Xbox device but not on PS.

The game itself looks good for a mobile & I certainly would try it if it was available on PS consoles, this Destiny mobile game on the PS portal or if PS6 is a switch like handheld hybrid would be amazing.

Multiple reasons I reckon: Different strategy with mtx for an additional revenue source on mobile. Not cannibalise their existing Destiny base on consoles and PC, they want to keep milking that until they decide a new onboarding point with a new engine for the inevitable D3. On top of that they have Marathon coming as the new big thing for the console/PC userbase.

If it all works out they'll have 3 different revenue sources and depending on how big this hits if it does (same for Marathon), Sony will have their investment back pretty fast.

“D3”

Ahauahahahahuahahahah

Please note the Yurinka FUD factory about Bungie and D3 was always 100% fake news.

wtf are you talking about? This is just a spinoff for mobile games, one of the different projects that they were rumored to have in the works. I don't know what you are smoking, you're the one who talked about Destiny 3 in this thread.

This is a multi billion IP, so they will obviously will to continue milking it with more products over time othe than Destiny 2, being this mobile gaming spinoff just one of them, or the cinema/tv adaptation they mentioned while ago another one.

Notice that when they did the recent layoff at Bungie they said that now were going to focus on Destiny and Marathon. Not Destiny 2 and Marathon. This is because in addition to Destiny 2 they had more Destiny IP stuff in the works, like this mobile game that is being made at Netease, pretty likely the Destiny movie/tv show adaptation being handled by PlayStation Studios and who knows what more (the recent announced changes for the future of Destiny 2 leads to think that they'll continue betting on it instead of letting it die and move to D3 somewhere soon).

Blizzard weren't my first foray into games. I started out on Master System and afaik, Diablo1 on the ps 1 was my first blizzard game.

Once they make the women waifu style this is going to make more money than the main game

Then you should know that Blizzard never really innovated. Their MO has always been to take existing genres and polish them up for mainstream consumption.

Bah LMAO only 500k for a mobile game loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

 

[Vertigo]

Imagine thinking half a million registrations in two weeks for access to a closed beta preview isn’t impressive.

That’s more than any Japan Studios developed game.

Let’s put it that way.

 

[quest4441]

Infinity Nikki a dress up game had 10 million registrations for its beta in a month and now sits at 25 million, 500k is chump change in the mobile game world and Destiny is not very popular in China and India the 2 biggest mobile gaming markets. I get cheerleading for your own team but these are pathetic numbers

 

[Vertigo]

Nor is the closed preview for Chinese Gacha Destiny available in the markets the game was designed for and only in US and UK.
