Bungie’s Destiny franchise is officially expanding to mobile with Destiny: Rising, a free-to-play sci-fi RPG shooter launching on iOS and Android on August 28. Developed by NetEase Games, the spinoff sets itself apart with a storyline that unfolds in an alternate timeline—one that exists before the events of the mainline Destiny games. This mobile version still incorporates signature Destiny features such as customizable Primary and Power weapons, gear sharing between characters, and a new Mythic-tier loot category. While the visuals and moment-to-moment action have been adapted for mobile devices, the gameplay remains rooted in the RPG-shooter hybrid model that defines the Destiny franchise. With its August 28 release date falling just a month after Bungie’s major Destiny 2 expansion, The Final Shape, the franchise is poised to extend its reach with a mobile-first experience that appeals both to veterans and new players. Whether Destiny: Rising will stand out in a crowded mobile market remains to be seen, but with Bungie’s lore and NetEase’s mobile development pedigree, it’s already one of the most anticipated mobile releases of the year.
