Destiny should be destined to great deeds to assert the amount of money that Activision is betting on it. To be considered the most expensive game made to date, the shooter to be developed by Bungie, will make the publisher of the Call of Duty series disburse 500 million dollars.
However, this amount includes expenses such as marketing, packaging, infrastructure, payment of royalties, etc. Comparatively, Take-Two Interactive spent about 260 million with GTA 5, including production and marketing costs. It is also worth noting that the game is a bet of 10 years for Activision, so in the long run it seems to be a logical move.
Analysts estimate that Destiny is expected to sell 15 to 16 million units at $ 60 each so that Activision can recover the investment. For her sake, let's hope this "prophecy" comes true.
See the trailer for gameplay in the video below:
We have already said that in this way Activision is destined to have on the market two series of weight in the FPS genre? All right, enough of this joke. But yes, Destiny must walk side by side with Call of Duty. The next game in the series, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be released in November, about 2 months after the planned launch of Destiny.
