Destiny won’t ship with microtransactions, Bungie has revealed – but that isn’t to say in-game purchases won’t come along at a later date.
Speaking with GamingBolt, senior environment artist Jason Sussman explained that “currently there are no micro-transactions, everything is in-game. As you play the game, you’re finding different equipment [that’s] coming out of different enemies or treasure chests or even within the tower you will receive different rewards that you’re rewarded within the game.”
Each of the rewards are “all built within the game,” Sussman adds.
While publisher Activision has yet to announce whether or not it has plans to introduce microtransactions into the game post-release, senior writer Eric Osborne explained last year that Bungie isn’t looking to “nickel and dime people” with additional content.
“We’ve not announced anything on the microtransaction front but our goal is to absolutely make sure that when we deliver a game for $60 that’s a great experience no matter what type of player you are,” he said. “So we’re not looking at any pay-for-power type stuff. That’s what I hear as a player when people say they’re worried about models and schemes that nickel and dime people; we’re not going to do that.”
Destiny launches on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3 and PS4 on September 9.
