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queries, Bungie pointed out calmly that the only proof of the matter – a supposedly leaked bit of promo art – uses an outdated version of the developer’s logo, fairly conclusively marking it as a fake.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.

A entry for Steam Trading Cards has turned up in the Steam database, leading many to scratch their heads as to what the entry entails.As PCgamesN notes, it could mean a variety of things such as support for trading card games, Valve could be working on its own trading card game, or it could be the start of some other form of community trading of CD-keys or the like. Valve hasn’t announced anything of the sort, yet, so we’ll just have to keep guessing until something is announced.

Naughty Dog may be busy working on The Last of Us, but it has another team at the studio working on something yet to be announced. IGN has a screengrab taken from its latest Podcast Beyond segment, which features a chronicling of the development of The Last of Us. On one of the computer screens in the background, you can see character renders which look rather like people sporting “17th/18th century clothing,” and looking possibly like “pirates.” No one is sure what the character renders belong to, but it’s possible it could be from the firm’s PS4 title.

What appears to be a leaked schedule of DLC for Soul Sacrifice has appeared on AGB. It shows what will land on PSN May 28, June 11 and June 25. Looking around the Internet a bit, a couple more sites cite NeoGAF as the source of the leak, but there isn’t a link back to the forum so I can’t find it to glean more information. The June 25 DLC on the schedule is the same DLC which releases in Japan for free next week, so while it looks legitimate, I’ll keep the rumor tag on it. See for yourself through the links.

Batman: Arkham Origins could be the first in the series to contain multiplayer mode, if a source close to Kotaku is accurate. According to the report, players will be able to step into the shoes of villains from the series and battle it out against Batman and Robin. Gameplay would see players as members of either Bane or Joker’s gang which include all sorts of familiar faces. We won’t delve into that end too much on here in case you want to remain unscathed, plus we don’t want to get yelled at. It hurts our feelings. We’ve sent a mail to Warner on the matter. Batman: Arkham Origins is out in October 25 for PC, PS3, Wii U and Xbox 360.
