Bungie: You’ll keep playing Destiny after you finish its story

Destiny will make you want to come back again and again even after you’ve finished it’s story, according to Bungie’s Luke Smith.

“I think Destiny‘s endgame begins as soon as you see the way the story ends,” Smith said in an interview with IGN. “As soon as you see the way we wrap up the sort of first piece of the adventure that we’re going to tell.

“We want to set you back out into the world to keep going. We want to try to align your motivations as the player with the motivations of the character who you’ve been pushing around this world. So for us I think a bunch of the endgame starts right at level 20.”

Part of that will be players’ desires to continually level up their characters.

“In a raid, when the raid begins at level 25, it’s not where it ends,” Smith said.” Like part of going the raid is the journey of gearing up — building your arsenal to react to the situations that it’s going to ask you to go through.”

Smith said Bungie also has a lot of daily content planned to keep gamers coming back for more.

“A lot of what’s going to drive you is going to be logging in every day [and] seeing what’s in that featured activities pane on your director, and then going into the Tower to get your bounties for the day,” he asserted.

Destiny will be available from 9 September on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
