The game's release date is still TBA.... [b][u][url=https://twitter.com/OneOfSwords/status/385089799956467712]10:12 AM Oct 1st[/url][/u][/b] [u][i]Amrich[/i][/u]: The press release says "The Beta will begin in early 2014" but it does not specify a release date. [u][i]Keshav {10:13}[/i][/u]: "Shared World Shooter Game Launches Next Spring" .. [u][i]Amrich {10:17}[/i][/u]: Checking [b][u][url=https://twitter.com/OneOfSwords/status/385089921465450496]10:12 AM Oct 1st[/url][/u][/b] [u][i]DestinyDistpatch {10:11}[/i][/u]: Nope.

Obviously some time after the beta. :) Sorry for confusion. [u][i]Pryor {11:32}[/i][/u]: Will the PC version have a separate beta, or will it fall in line with the rest of the scheduled releases? [u][i]Amrich {1:09 PM}[/i][/u]: There is no PC version at this time [b][u][url=https://twitter.com/OneOfSwords/status/385092256161873921]10:22 AM Oct 1st[/url][/u][/b] Article updated to confirm both #Destiny public beta and full release are due for spring 2014.

No reasonable person wld think release window still isnt known [u][i]Amrich {1:09}[/i][/u]: I have already clarified this both on Twitter and on my blog post.

[u][i]Amrich {1:10}[/i][/u]:I will ask but I do not expect an answer to that one yet. [u][i]McCarron {1:11}[/i][/u]:Ditto, since no one is offering digital preorders yet. Pre-ordered disc from Amazon for now.[/spoiler] [i]Is this mind boggling to anyone but me?[/i] Today as I walked into Gamestop to get my code, I saw the BETA poster on the front door/window and instantly remembered something as it clicked in my brain a second time:[quote]Remember all the BETA info at the end of the Moon trailer and how it's so very lemony fresh; [url=http://destiny.bungie.org/images/news/beta.jpg]the ship flying through the words BETA[/url]...[/quote]Well below/after that it said "[url=http://destiny.bungie.org/images/news/release.jpg]Become Legend Spring 2014[/url]" with the date being the same lemon color.[quote]So I thought "Hey, I'm a genius, that means the BETA is coming in the spring so logically the release date can't possibly be as well."[/quote] Guess I was wrong. ([b][u]EDIT[/u][/b]: I [i]was[/i] wrong, the Spring 2014 screen comes [i]before[/i] the the BETA screen... it's still yellow though, right guys? But that is probably just a nod to the return of Bungie burning bright) What's your opinion? Does this seem strange to you or does it appear like it's just all coming together perfectly?
