In the latest weekly update on Destiny's blog, Bungie has revealed that its raised over $1 million in support of Nepal's population, which was hit by a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake in April, killing more than 8,800 people. Thanks to the sale of limited edition t-shirts, in-game shaders and emblems in Destiny, Bungie has raised a total of $ 1,026,006. This'll be donated to charity Direct Relief. Thomas Tighe, President and CEO of Direct Relief, had this to say:
"This was an astounding act of generosity on the part of Bungie and the larger Bungie community, and we at Direct Relief are deeply grateful - beyond what can be expressed in words. Most importantly, the Bungie community's amazing support will translate immediately and directly into help for people in Nepal who experienced a tremendous blow, are in a very difficult and more vulnerable situation now as monsoon season nears, and also have a long, tough road ahead. Every penny will be spent to help strengthen essential health services that were needed before the earthquakes and much more so now".
In the same blog post, Bungie have confirmed that "shaders and emblems will arrive in the game sometime this summer", so you have to be patient.
Bungie will be at E3 2015 and we hope they'll reveal new more info about Destiny, and The Taken King DLC.
