Destiny: Rising datamine peaked at in-game strings and code references, potentially revealing four new characters joining the roster. The characters are: Helhest, Rossi-11, Maru, and Jaren Ward. These characters all exist within the broader Destiny canon; the fan-favorite Jaren Ward is a key figure in both Destiny 1 and 2, serving as mentor to Guardian Shin Malphur. He was never playable in the previous mainline Destiny games.
The dataminer posted their findings on Reddit; they detailed various speculations from in-game files.
According to a report from Tower Sensor, Destiny: Rising achieved an estimated $9 million in net in-app purchase revenue and 2 million total downloads within the first 20 days of release. As of writing, the game is ranked 7th in the United States among adventure games when comparing downloads.
Destiny: Rising’s character gacha system contributes to the game’s increasing revenue. The title added Estela and Umeko two weeks ago, both of whom are unlockable through gacha pulls. The competitive gauntlet events disabled pay-to-win mechanics during the first couple of weeks to ensure fair play. The very first team to clear the Eclipse Raid was a team from the EMA region, resulting in exclusive rewards.
