Destiny beta dates announced

Bungie has announced that its Destiny beta will take place this month across all current and last generation platforms. The Alpha test was praised by players despite its limitations, now that the beta is coming we can get a better look at what Bungie has in store for us in September.

Since Sony has partnered up with Bungie for this game, Playstation 3 and PS4 owners will have access to the beta for longer. Starting on the 17th of July until the 28th, Playstation owners will be able to play the beta while Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners will be able to jump in on the 23rd of July until the 28th.

However, the beta will be taken offline for a two day maintenance period, this maintenance time will take place on the 21st and 22nd of July, eating in to Sony's early access time a little.

Destiny is set to have three special edition releases which are now available for pre-order. The game will launch on the 9th of September. There is currently no concrete word on a PC release although Activision has revealed that the company is discussing it.

KitGuru Says: I've heard good things from those who played the Destiny alpha, hopefully the beta will impress us more. However, it is a shame that this game hasn't been announced for the PC yet, it seems like it would be a good fit.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
