The Destiny beta for the PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360 is winding down, but Bungie Community Manager David “DeeJ” Dague answered the question of how many locations there will be on each planet during a Twitch stream on Saturday. Combine this with information culled by mining the Destiny beta and we get an idea of the amount of content that will be available when the game launches on September 9.

On a 2old2play livestream, Deej confirmed that each planet will only have one location to explore when the game launches.

“We’re calling them destinations. You go to Mars, you go to the moon, you go to Venus, you’ve got Earth,” DeeJ said when asked if there will be more one area to explore on each planet.

“We’ve revealed everything that you’ll explore in the first version of the game,” he continued. “You’ll be Earth. Your story takes you from the wastes of the Cosmodrome. The Cosmodrome was essentially our Cape Canaveral of the Golden Age. It’s where we launched off as a global society, where we rushed out into the solar system to colonize and use what the Traveler gave us.”

Even though there’s only one area to explore per location, the beta showed that there is a large amount of area to cover. Parts of Old Russia are either blocked off by barriers or by Fallen and Hive enemies that are much higher than the level 8 cap in the beta. In the brief 2-hour period that the Moon was made available in the Destinybeta Saturday night I was able to explore deep into the Hellmouth for more than 30 minutes before I began hitting barriers and it felt like I was not close to the endgame for the section shown in previous trailers. There is more on the surface of the Moon to explore as well.

In all, there are seven different “destinations” in Destiny for players to experience – the Earth, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and The Reef (asteroid belt) plus the Crucible multiplayer maps. DeeJ confirmed that the areas seen in the Crucible maps for Mars and Venus during the beta will be part of the regular destinations as well.

Seems kinda short to me. What do you think? Will there be a lot of DLC?  

Damn I was just about to post this. Curse you and your swiftness!

Still; that seems a little light for a game which has been in development for so long and has cost so much to develop. What have Desitiny been doing all this time? Burning the money to heat the offices?

the area in the beta (which is pretty big) is just one sixth the total area of the game. total area's combined seem huge. 

I got that impression from the beta. Its probably more shallow than a Borderlands game.

Hopefully they add content over time like an MMO. Unless they plan releasing a sequel in the next few years.

Yeah. Its surprising cause the game has been in development for so long. Guess all the money is going into marketing the game. 

It sounds short to me. But all I have been playing is control and the iron banner so it won't be a big issue to me as it would be to others.

That's not good.

people are shitting me with these replies are they not?

you got 6 area's/ planets. Earth, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and The Reef. each has its own open world. as wee seen in the beta, the area is pretty big, now multiply that by 7, makes it HUGE..

the one place to explore isnt one small destination, its one, big open world map.

I played the beta, and for what Ive seen, I think the scale is good so far. With many areas and missions to tackle via solo or co-op.

This feels so far like a sure purchase for me.

Honestly, Old Russia really isn't that big. The part with the level 20 enemies doesn't even add much. Once you pass them and go deep into the cave, it just leads you to the strike mission area. You can explort the whole area in like 45 minutes, but that's just my opinion. Hopefully they expand on Destiny's world through expansion packs.
