14 DAY TRIAL // Destiny might have only been available for less than one week, but the gamers currently playing the new first-person shooter from Bungie seem to have already found one of the biggest Easter Eggs that the team included in it, a giant version of the head of Master Chief, the protagonist of their previous project, Halo.
All those who want to take a good look at it need to get the ability to travel to Mars and then they have to move to the Trenchworks area and find the right angle from which the Command Tower located there looks like the iconic video game character.
The first image of the Master Chief head was captured by a player on Reddit, and the community has been debating whether the image was included just as a reference to the Halo series or the development team had a bigger reason to add it to the title.
A question of rights
The new Destiny is being published by Activision while the intellectual rights of the Halo series are at the moment linked to Microsoft, which means that an official crossover between the two titles is important.
Bungie has been widely praised for its work on its previous project and the developers still have a connection with the title, despite the fact that they have given the reins to 343 Industries.
The community will continue to search for Easter Eggs in Destiny and it’s likely that other major elements of the former franchise might be present in the world.
Destiny aims for success
The new title from Bungie has managed to ship 500 million dollars (379 million Euro) worth of video games to stores on launch day, but no official info has been offered about actual sales so far.
The development team is at the moment working on delivering more patches in order to fix some core gameplay mechanics.
A big downloadable content pack called The Dark Below will be launched on the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One and last-gen consoles before the end of the year.
Bungie says that it has a 10-year-long plan for the first-person shooter.
Meanwhile, 343 Industries and publisher Microsoft are working on a new Halo: The Master Chief Collection that will arrive in November and on a new full game for the franchise, called Guardians, which will arrive on the Xbox One in 2015.
