If you’ve been looking forward to bringing your existing character from the Destiny beta phase over into the full game you’re going to be disappointed: Destiny beta characters cannot be transferred.
Bungie confirmed the disappointing, but inevitable, news via its latest Destiny update, also confirming that the “vaults have been cleaned out, too.”
Talking about progress on the game since the beta closed, Bungie says it’s been fine tuning the mechanics, tweaking the way players earn experience, adding and removing items and toggling features. However, there have been no major changes made since beta.
Destiny launches on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on September 9, 2014. If you’ve been hiding in a box and have missed all the hype, check out our beta hands-on preview of Bungie’s highly-anticipated, online first-person shooter.
