New OXM with Destiny cover story hits shelves today! Mostly a recap of the February reveal, but also exclusive interview with Joe Staten. Here are some interesting tidbits worth mentioning:

“Bigger than Call of Duty? More epic than Halo? This isn’t hyperbole; it’s the studio’s clear goal.”

OXM may clarify Vanguard issue: “Jason, who’s currently using his Titan character, a bigger breed of Guardian wearing tough Vanguard armor.”

In-game currency earned: “in competitive multiplayer” and from “bounties completed for a mysterious character called the Queen of the Reef.”

“Bungie claims travel will be ‘fun, compelling, and timely.’”

New classes/types of Cabal mentioned – Legionnaires and Centurions.

“It’s eerie, otherworldly, and beautiful; we recall our awe of first exiting a Halo dropship or scouring a new Mass Effect planet.”

“[Marty] O’Donnell noted that new tunes that more directly reflect what’s happening on screen will be crafted.”

“We spent a lot of time looking at episodic television…any show that’ve managed to sustain a universe for many years…” –Joe Staten

“Destiny is choice, it allows you to buck fate and carve your own path through the world.” –Joe Staten
