Destiny is a massively multiplayer online shooter set in a distant future where humanity has spread across the solar system. Players take on the role of Guardians, protectors of Earth's last city, who wield incredible powers derived from the Traveler, a mysterious white celestial body. Their mission is to reclaim the solar system from hostile alien races, uncover the secrets of the Traveler, and ultimately confront the Darkness, an ancient cosmic enemy.
