ACTIVISION ANNOUNCES RECORD-BREAKING DAY-ONE FOR DESTINY: THE
TAKEN KING

Most Downloaded Day-One Game in PlayStation History

More People Played Destiny on The Taken King Launch Day Than at the
Original Destiny Launch

Bungie and Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), announced today that Destiny:
The Taken King
broke the record for the most downloaded day-one game
in PlayStation history and set a new day-one franchise benchmark for
both total players and peak online concurrency, surpassing the original Destiny
launch day last September, which was itself the biggest new video game
franchise launch in history.

Destiny: The Taken King is officially the most downloaded game
on day-one in PlayStation history and set a new benchmark for both total Destiny
players and peak online concurrency on day-one, so it’s safe to say
the Destiny franchise continues to gain momentum,” said Eric
Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. “Along with our talented
partners at Bungie, we cannot wait to watch the community continue to
grow and tackle the King’s Fall Raid kicking off on Friday.”

For players who are new to Destiny, everything needed to jump in
is available in the Legendary Edition which includes: Destiny,
Expansion I: The Dark Below, Expansion II: House of Wolves
, and
features The Taken King offered at a suggested retail price of
$59.99, a tremendous value for the scope of the content offered. Those
who have already purchased Destiny and both expansions can
purchase a digital copy of The Taken King by itself for a
suggested retail price of $39.99. The Legendary Edition is available at
thousands of retail stores around the world, and also available for
digital download.

PlayStation® gamers receive access to a host of additional content for The
Taken King
, including a Strike, a Crucible map, three sets of armor
and an exotic weapon, timed exclusive until at least Fall 2016. Both The
Taken King
and the Legendary Edition include a character boost,
called “Spark of Light,” a one-time increase to level 25 which is the
minimum level required to play The Taken King content.

With a new storyline introducing Oryx, Crota’s vengeful father, an
all-new destination, three new Guardian subclasses, a massive arsenal of
new armor, weapons and exotics, new Strikes and Crucible maps, and the
new ‘King’s Fall’ Raid that will put players to the ultimate test, there
has never been a better time to jump in to “Become Legend,” particularly
for new players beginning their journey as a Guardian. The Taken King
major expansion takes players deep into the chambers of a new
destination, the ‘Dreadnaught’ ship, to defeat Oryx, and his Taken Army.

The Taken King is ESRB rated ‘T’ for Teen, and is
available for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system
(PlayStation® Plus required for some features), PlayStation®3 computer
entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment
system and Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft (Xbox
Live Gold required for some features).
