I was doing some research for the Traveler's Guide (link above) when I realized just how many locations might be in the Destiny universe.
For clarity, I'll divide the places we can go in Destiny into 3 distinct categories: Worlds, Destinations, and Locations.
(examples)
[spoiler]World: Earth
Destination: Old Russia
Location: Devil's Lair[/spoiler]
There are currently 5 confirmed worlds in Destiny:
[spoiler]Earth
The Moon
Mars
Venus
Europa[/spoiler]
Using the information on Destinypedia and its cited sources I've determined that on Earth there will be [i]at least[/i] 5 destinations:
[spoiler]The City (and surrounding area)
Old Russia
Old Chicago
The European Dead-Zone
Mumbai Push[/spoiler]
Now then... if we look at the size of Old Russia, we can see [i]at least[/i] 10 locations (maybe 12) that we'll be able to explore:
[spoiler]Blind Steppe
Delta South
Devil's Lair
The Divide
Gateway
Graveyard
King's Watch
Moth-Yard
Rocket-Yard
Sky Watch[/spoiler]
Keeping these numbers in mind I'll give a conservative estimate: if the 4 other destinations on Earth are [i]half[/i] the size of Old Russia (that makes 30) and If all 4 other worlds are [i]half[/i] the size of Earth (15 each), then there will be [i]at least[/i] 90 specific locations in the game!
(math edited)
At this point my mind was blown.
note:
[spoiler]This estimate does include areas of the city, but I left out places like "The Black Garden and The Twilight gap, because it's unclear if these places are destinations, or locations at this time.[/spoiler]

[quote]Europa: it’s one of Jupiter’s many moons, and a location you will be visiting in Bungie’s upcoming Destiny. It’s a sight to behold, so enjoy the image above, and prepare to fight on a moon of ice and snow when Destiny is released in the near future![/quote] [url]http://destiny-the-game.com/2013/05/prepare-to-visit-the-one-of-jupiters-moons-in-destiny/[/url]
[quote]Mars
Barrett: The driving thing here is massive red sand dunes and a buried city.[/quote]
[quote]Venus
Barrett: Venus is similar in that we wanted to create a human city. It’s more of a research outpost than a civilian skyscraper kind of place.[/quote]

Thanks to those at Destinypedia for compiling these sources![/spoiler]

Edited by joey2164: 5/28/2014 6:51:27 PMPersonally I haven't heard ANYTHING about Europa, but I have heard Saturn mentioned by a Bungie employee in an interview video or Vidoc. Don't ask me which one, but if I happen across it again, I will link it. Edit: Not the video I viewed previously, but seemingly confimation nonetheless: IGN article writes the following. "Bungie art director Christopher Barrett dubbed Destiny a “mythic science fiction” universe and shared a number of locales we can look forward to visiting: the Cosmodome Breach, the ruins on the edge of the European Dead Zone, the swamps of Old Chicago (likely a nod to Bungie’s original home city), derelict fleets floating in the rings of Saturn, the earth Moon’s Hellmouth, the uncharted depths of Reef, giant obsidian pyramid ships, mile-long tomb ships, and much more."
