Bungie is currently flirting with the possibility of putting the company’s upcoming open world shooter Destiny on the PC and making saves transferable between platforms.
Bungie’s senior writer and head of community, Eric Osborne, when asked if a PC version of the game could still be in the cards, tells IGN: “We haven’t said yes, and we haven’t said no. The more platforms we take on, the more work it ultimately becomes, and what we don’t want is to compromise the core experience on any platforms.”
“We have a lot of people who play on PCs. We have a lot of appetite to build that experience. We haven’t announced it yet, but we’re looking forward to talking more about that kind of stuff in the future.”
While Bungie hasn't announced anything regarding the game’s release on PC, the best guess here is that the company might end up porting Destiny from the console version the PC, although that will not happen anytime soon. Maybe sometime in the future.
As far as the game’s multiplatform approach and the possibility of transferring save files between platforms, both current generation and the next, is concerned, Osborne adds: “For us, [platforms] are purely agnostic. Any data on our back-end servers and services, like Bungie.net, are ours. We control it, we can do a bunch of fun stuff on that side.”
“So for us, we want to absolutely do the right things for players. But there are some complexities we have to solve that are outside our control. But we’re absolutely pushing to solve some of those things. We don’t have anything to announce, but hopefully in the future we will.”
As of now, Bungie has announced that the worldwide gameplay reveal for Destiny will take place at Sony’s E3 2013 press conference on Monday, June 10 at 6:00 PM Pacific.
