In an interview with Game Informer, the responded to fans who were concerned that they'd be unable to adventure by themselves by reassuring them that most of the content would indeed still be accessible, though some of the very high level stuff may not be."You absolutely are going to be able to play Destiny by yourself and have the same kind of fun shooter-experience that you could have in a single-player campaign, which is a word that we’ve weeded out of our vocabulary," he explained.“We describe it in a lot of ways as sloping the floor towards socialization, without putting a requirement on it,” he went on. “I would say that there’s some sort of – if you wanted to talk about it in MMO terms, you’d say ‘end-game activities’, but some of the most intense non-competitive activities in the game do require cooperation. They require a group of players to tackle at once."Raids, for example, will require additional players, but you will indeed be able to complete the campaign solo if you so choose.“I guess at some variable, distant endpoint we are going to say, ‘Yeah, if you show up at this door, and you don’t have five friends, you’re not going to be able to succeed,’ but the core experience that solo players have enjoyed in shooters, they’re going to be able to get that, and we’re going to pull many of them into social experiences as well.”While we expect to see a great deal more of Destiny before its release next September but, if you're looking for some more information in the meantime, check out our interview with Bungie about how the idea for the game came about
