Last week, Bungie promised the big reveal for its first post-Halo project with Activision, namely Destiny to surface "within weeks", before that was pared down to mere days. Now, the developer has pinned a proper date on Destiny finally breaking cover on the game's Facebook page, where it exuberantly declares that "news is coming soon!"

"Official Destiny news is coming soon!" the Destiny Facebook page exclaims. "You can be the first to see the reveal of Destiny right here on February 17."

Meanwhile, over on Bungie.net, there's information pertaining to the Destiny social media channels, which are now live, as are the official forums. "In a matter of days, we're going to give you your first glimpse into the vision and ambition that's driving the creation of our brave new world," reads a statement on Bungie's site.

"To make room for the resulting chatter, we've launched some official social media channels. There’s a new Destiny page to like on Facebook, a new Destiny feed to follow on Twitter, and a new Destiny page on Google+. And, of course, we've opened a new Destiny forum..."

Be sure to mark February 17th in your diary then. You've got a date with Destiny. You can check out more Destiny artwork and info here.
