Destiny, the new game from Bungie — best known for its Halo series of games — has debuted its first gameplay trailer.

Launched after Sony's press conference at E3, the nearly three-minute-long trailer provides details about Destiny's plot. The game revolves around a huge, mysterious sphere called "The Traveler" that protects the last city on Earth, after all of its colonies have fallen prey to an alien enemy. Wielding The Traveler's power, users play as one of the guardians of the last city. They are tasked with exploring and destroying threatening forces.

Destiny is a first-person shooter with MMO elements in which the player can choose one of three classes: Hunter, Warlock or Titan. The gameplay offers a co-op mode, while fighting is a combination of shooting and melee attacks reminiscent of Halo.

Destiny will available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2014.
