Legacy Gen Upgrade Path Begins Today
Bungie and Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), announced
today one of the largest content offerings in gaming to launch this
year – Destiny – The Collection. Containing every
release from the award-winning action shooter franchise to date,
including the new large expansion, Destiny: Rise of Iron,
Destiny – The Collection is the perfect opportunity for new
Guardians to join the fight for humanity’s survival. For legacy gen
players, Destiny – The Collection marks the opportunity to
transition to playing Destiny on a current gen system
through the upgrade program which begins today and runs until
January 31, 2017. Destiny – The Collection will launch alongside
Rise of Iron on September 20, 2016 and will be available for the

required for some features). Gamers who pre-purchase Destiny – The
Collection digitally will be able to experience Destiny, The
Dark Below, House of Wolves and The Taken King
immediately, while awaiting the release of Rise of Iron.
“Destiny – The Collection is the perfect starting point for
gamers who have yet to experience Destiny,” said Byron Beede, Sr.
Vice President of Destiny at Activision. “Destiny – The Collection
contains some of the most engaging content Bungie has ever created
and the soon-to-be released Rise of Iron. It also includes a
character boost that will allow new players to instantly join in
with friends who are already enjoying Destiny.”
Players who pre-order Destiny – The Collection or Rise of Iron
will receive the black and silver Iron Gjallarhorn*, a fan favorite
weapon making its return to power. Those that pre-order digitally
or at select retailers will also receive the Iron Gjallarwing
Sparrow*.
Destiny brings you into a bold world of action and adventure
where you are a Guardian of the last safe city on Earth wielding
incredible powers. Explore the ancient ruins of our solar system as
you immerse yourself in a cinematic single-player campaign. Join up
with friends in three or six player co-op activities. Spar with
your fellow players in a variety of competitive multiplayer modes.
Upgrade your character to create a powerful hero as unique as
yourself. Become Legend.
Destiny – The Collection is rated T for Teen by the ESRB.

About Bungie

enough copies to fund our ongoing quest for World Domination. Over
the past twenty years, Bungie created a bunch of fun games,
including the Halo franchise, the Marathon Trilogy, and the first
two Myth games. Our independent, employee-owned development studio
