Destiny for Vita rumour debunked
According to IGN, there was a rumour going around that shared-worlds shooter Destiny was coming to Vita. Answering desperately curious queries, Bungie pointed out calmly that the only proof of the matter – a supposedly leaked bit of promo art – uses an outdated version of the developer’s logo, fairly conclusively marking it as a fake. Destiny has been confirmed for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360, and other “next-gen platforms” presumably including what we’re now calling Xbox Infinity. The trademark which sparked the fake, Destiny of Spirits, remains unexplained.
