The developer behind the hotly anticipated science-fiction shoot-’em-up, Destiny, has confirmed that the game has gone gold ahead of its launch in early September.
Bungie’s latest project has been in the works for over three years, and enjoyed a successful beta period earlier this summer, which saw over four million gamers participate in.
Writing on the company’s official blog, the former Halo developer commented, “This weekend, we’re going to start testing the launch version of Destiny. We know you’d love to help, but this golden moment is meant for us alone. Don’t be too jealous, because we’ll wipe our Guardians one more time before you get to meet them.
“Several times before Day One, we’ll update Bungie.net so that it can serve as the philosophical centre of the City. If you intend to play Destiny, you’ll want to link your gaming account to a login here. If you’re already linked up, you’re golden. If you’re so hardcore that you’ve chosen a team,” wrote the developer.”
The game has already cemented itself as one of the most pre-ordered new IPs in video game history.
Destiny is due out on September 9 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.
