As a seasoned Destiny player with countless hours under my belt, I must admit that the announcement of Destiny: Rising has left me feeling a mix of excitement and nostalgia. It’s like Bungie is giving us a taste of the Destiny universe in a new, more accessible form – a mobile game!
Following numerous whispers about Bungie developing a mobile adaptation of Destiny, it’s officially unveiled as “Destiny: Ascend“, a role-playing game set within the Destiny universe and accessible for free on mobile devices.
In contrast, it’s NetEase Games, known for creating games like Diablo Immortal, Once Human, and numerous other popular mobile titles, who are responsible for the game development on Android and iOS devices instead of Bungie.
Back in the day, I was all about NetEase Games’ attempts to dominate the Battle Royale scene with titles like Rules of Survival. But those days are long past now.
Currently, NetEase Games stands out as one of the seasoned creators and distributors of mobile games, offering top-tier titles not just for mobile devices but also across multiple platforms. These games are ones that many of us enjoy playing.
Consequently, when Destiny: Rising was officially revealed via a YouTube video released on October 14, 2024, the overall reaction from the community was predominantly enthusiastic.
As a dedicated player who’s poured countless hours into Destiny 2, it’s intriguing and somewhat bittersweet to note that Destiny: Rising appears visually superior and seems more engaging than the core game.
But that’s a whole different story!
Returning to our discussion, it’s worth noting that “Destiny: Rising” takes place within the Destiny Universe, but unlike the ongoing narrative, it delves into an entirely new direction.
Here’s a brief on the game’s setting:
Destiny: Rising delves into an unseen era where burgeoning hope blooms once again after a terrifying collapse of civilization and the dangers of the resulting Dark Age. With the help of legendary Iron Lords, humanity has broken free the shackles of tyranny and began to rally together against the alien forces intent on its extinction. Amidst the chaos of this early age for The City, a new generation of Lightbearers, resurrected by mysterious entities known as Ghosts, set out to restore humanity’s prominence and secure its future.
Meanwhile, let me share some insights from Ethan Wang, Senior Vice President at NetEase, Inc., regarding their collaboration with Bungie on the development of Destiny: Rising:
With Destiny: Rising, NetEase Games is honored to partner with Bungie to deliver a Destiny-caliber experience to mobile devices.
He continued,
Destiny is an incredible franchise with a passionate and dedicated global fanbase. As huge fans ourselves, we are humbled and thrilled for the opportunity to bring gamers an action-packed RPG shooter set within the Destiny Universe.
On the other hand, Terry Redfield, the Creative Lead at Bungie, said:
For over a decade, we have built this universe to contain many unique and wonderful stories, and we are excited to see mobile gamers be able to experience this new take on the Destiny universe from the creative team at NetEase.
Here is a summary of the different features Destiny: Rising will offer:
- First-person and third-person modes
- A variety of PvP and PvE game modes
- Legendary Characters (The usual three Classes, Titan, Warlock, and Hunter)
- Campaign
- 6-player co-op Strikes
- Open-world exploration (A variety of sci-fi biomes)

The above are just a few key features the game will offer. NetEase Games has managed to deliver high-quality mobile games, and there is no doubt they will successfully meet the expectations of the mobile gaming community, which has been long waiting for a Destiny game.
