Bungie and Activision’s collaboration Destiny saw its first live gameplay demo on stage at Sony’s E3 press conference, running on the PS4.
The game, a role-playing first-person shooter, is heading to PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, but the on-stage E3 demo gave the PlayStation 4 event something of a coup.
The fairly lengthy demo showed collaborative gameplay in a sizeable and graphically impressive game world.
Destiny – which Activision publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg called the "worst-kept secret in the history of secrets" so time ago – was first uncovered in 2012 in the legal battle between Activision and its former employees Jason West and Vince Zampella.
"I’m happy to announce that we’ve formed a long-term exclusive relationship with activation that will see PlayStation 4 evolve with the Bungie universe," said SCE group president Andrew House.
It is not clear how exactly House meant ‘exclusive’.
