How big Destiny could be.

I was doing some research for the Traveler's Guide (link above) when I realized just how many locations might be in the Destiny universe. For clarity, I'll divide the places we can go in Destiny into 3 distinct categories: Worlds, Destinations, and Locations. (examples) [spoiler]World: Earth Destination: Old Russia Location: Devil's Lair[/spoiler] There are currently 5 confirmed worlds in Destiny: [spoiler]Earth The Moon Mars Venus Europa[/spoiler] Using the information on Destinypedia and its cited sources I've determined that on Earth there will be [i]at least[/i] 5 destinations: [spoiler]The City (and surrounding area) Old Russia Old Chicago The European Dead-Zone Mumbai Push[/spoiler] Now then... if we look at the size of Old Russia, we can see [i]at least[/i] 10 locations (maybe 12) that we'll be able to explore: [spoiler]Blind Steppe Delta South Devil's Lair The Divide Gateway Graveyard King's Watch Moth-Yard Rocket-Yard Sky Watch[/spoiler] Keeping these numbers in mind I'll give a conservative estimate: if the 4 other destinations on Earth are [i]half[/i] the size of Old Russia (that makes 30) and If all 4 other worlds are [i]half[/i] the size of Earth (15 each), then there will be [i]at least[/i] 90 specific locations in the game! (math edited) At this point my mind was blown. note: [spoiler]This estimate does include areas of the city, but I left out places like "The Black Garden and The Twilight gap, because it's unclear if these places are destinations, or locations at this time.[/spoiler] citations: [spoiler][quote]Name me some locations in the game. The Cosmodone Breach, the ruins on the edge of the European Dead Zone, the swamps of Old Chicago, the Tower, the Reef, giant obsidian pyramid ships, the Hellmouth on the Moon.[/quote] [url] http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/destiny-quick-faq[/url] Map of Old Russia: [url]http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140430193609/destinypedia/images/d/d8/Old_Russia_Map.png[/url] [quote]Europa: it’s one of Jupiter’s many moons, and a location you will be visiting in Bungie’s upcoming Destiny. It’s a sight to behold, so enjoy the image above, and prepare to fight on a moon of ice and snow when Destiny is released in the near future![/quote] [url]http://destiny-the-game.com/2013/05/prepare-to-visit-the-one-of-jupiters-moons-in-destiny/[/url] [quote]Mars Barrett: The driving thing here is massive red sand dunes and a buried city.[/quote] [quote]Venus Barrett: Venus is similar in that we wanted to create a human city. It’s more of a research outpost than a civilian skyscraper kind of place.[/quote] [url]http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2013/12/20/the-places-of-destiny.aspx?PostPageIndex=2[/url] Thanks to those at Destinypedia for compiling these sources![/spoiler]

  • I certainly hope we really are looking at the possibility of that many destinations or locations per planet. Considering how much work has been put into the game, even with how comparatively speedy Grognok is to previous technologies for map design, I wonder if making so many and ensuring all the details are as desired has taken up a significant portion of Bungie's manhours.
