“Destiny” Facts You Never Knew About The Hit Game And Its Lore

Back in 2007, Halo developer Bungie separated from Microsoft. They wanted more creative control over their work. But it took nearly a decade before they released Destiny. And the multiplayer FPS could actually rival the company’s first franchise. Like Halo, Destiny has an incredible storyline, amazing visuals, and a deep backstory. But if thematics and visuals aren’t enough to keep you interested, maybe a deep dive into the background and lore of the game will.

So check out these Destiny game facts.

If you’re playing on PlayStation, you have access to tons of exclusives…

…at least for a year or so. Xbox fans may blame it on the bad blood between Bungie and Microsoft, but honestly, isn’t it better to just take the exotic-level weapons, fancy armor and strike missions, and shove it all in your friends’ faces for 365 days while they’re forced to sob over the loss?

Lucky number 7

Bungie’s games seem to have a thing for the number, and “Destiny” is no different. You can find it nearly everywhere in the game. Of course, if it really was a lucky number, you’d be able to gamble those seven hidden Tower coins… guess we’ll hold out for an update.

Because science!

When in doubt, you best believe Reddit has the answers. ThatChrisG points out the blue lava on Venus is scientifically accurate (we have no clue how he knows, either). But this means the folks at Bungie are just as obsessed with attention to detail as you are with Master Chief Easter eggs.

There’s a huge Master Chief Easter egg

Have you made it to Mars yet? Have you seen the Master Chief Tower? Just because they don’t own the rights to the “Halo” franchise anymore doesn’t mean that Bungie doesn’t carry some sense of sentimentality for it.

It’s kind of cute when you think about it.
