Destiny: Rising, Franchise

Destiny: Rising has arrived on Android, bringing the expansive Destiny universe to mobile for the very first time. Destiny is an online-exclusive multiplayer first-person shooter series created by Bungie. The inaugural title launched in September 2014.

What does Destiny: Rising bring to mobile?

Fan-favorite elements from the original, including six-player Raids and three-player Strikes, are fully present. Developers have also integrated roguelike challenges and PvPvE combat. Social activities like Sparrow Racing, Clan Housing, and Fishing provide additional ways to engage.

NetEase Games is publishing the mobile version of Destiny: Rising. Players can seamlessly toggle between first-person and third-person viewpoints. Enjoy flexible loadouts, as weapons can be shared across different characters.

The initial major challenge arrives with the Season 0 Week One Gauntlet event, featuring unique emblems and community-wide rewards. Following that, the Season 1 Week One event begins, placing global players on equal footing to compete for leaderboard prizes.

Destiny: Rising also explores a new narrative branch. This chapter revisits an alternate timeline, set long before the original game, when the Iron Lords emerged from the Dark Age to rekindle humanity's hope. Enter this previously unseen era as a new Lightbearer, resurrected by a Ghost to confront alien dangers and help reclaim humanity's destiny among the stars.

You assume the role of the Wolf, a customizable Lightbearer who wields a Relic that grants unique powers and Super Abilities. For variety, you can also fight as legendary Destiny characters like Ikora Rey and Iron Lord Jolder.

Get it at launch!

New players receive over 200 free draws and a minimum of 12,500 Lumia Leaves at launch. A selection of Exotic weapons and an exclusive Exotic ornament are also available to earn.

A 14-day welcome event and milestone achievements provide additional Lumia Leaves and extra draws. The Bear the Light event awards a special emblem that can also be redeemed in Destiny 2.

Download the game now from the Google Play Store. It is free-to-play on Android. Also, check out our coverage of Nintendo's Hello, Mario!, which lets you interact with… Mario’s face!
