dboTV - Episode 7: Moon Over Beta

Tonight's episode of dboTV is now available for those of you that missed the live broadcast - it's a quick run through the last Mail Sack, Destiny's box art, the Moon, the Destiny Beta, and more. You can watch this episode on YouTube, or browse through the archive of older episodes here on our local dboTV page. Enjoy!

More than a couple of maps

IGN talked to urk about the upcoming Destiny Beta - sounds like it'll be pretty expansive, in comparison to older beta programs Bungie has run.

The Destiny beta, in many ways, is being treated like a full product launch.

 I'm drooling already! Thanks, Mr Daax.

One Fan's Cover View

Firestream took his own crack at some cover art for Destiny... go see if you like it better or worse than the official version!

Destiny Release Window: Spring 2014

An updated Destiny release window was announced quietly at the end of the Moon trailer from this morning. Previously just "2014", the new release window is now "Spring 2014".

If the Destiny Beta has a similar lead time to the Halo 3 and Reach Betas, then we can probably expect the Beta in early Winter and a final release in mid-to-late Spring. Does anyone have a cryo chamber I can borrow for 3–4 months?

It's Official: Destiny Beta Launches Early 2014

It looks like earlier reports were accurate and the Destiny Beta is official! Along with the Moon trailer, Bungie today announced that people who pre-order Destiny will receive a code granting them access to the Destiny Beta in "Early 2014". Once you receive your code, take it to bungie.net/beta to lock in your spot!

Retailers appear to be handling code handouts individually, but existing pre-orders should all be able to receive a code, even though you may have to go into the store to request one. Additionally, it appears that the beta codes are not tied to the same platform that you pre-order for, so you can purchase a next-gen copy and still participate in the Beta on your PS3 or 360.

Gameplay Trailer: The Moon

Bungie released a new gameplay trailer today, focusing on the Moon, the Hive, and a new trio of Guardians. What are you waiting for? Go check it out! We'll wait... There's also a post on Bungie.net with some new Moon-themed wallpapers for your viewing pleasure.
