Destiny is on "final approach" to its release on September 9.

Developer Bungie told fans that the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One game is on track after years of development in a community update posted on Friday. The studio acknowledged that some of its staff is now 'crunching' - working significant overtime - to make sure the game stays that way.

"Though we're bleary-eyed and exhausted with the day-to-day challenge of keeping Destiny ON TRACK, the tiny sampling offered by our Pre-Alpha is already hugely motivating," Bungie said. "For many of us, especially those who have never had the opportunity to see what it's like to ship a new IP, it's been downright monumental - a testament to what this team is truly capable of and the foundation, we hope, for a game experience we can all feel proud to put our name on and shout, "I made that!"

The update concluded with some cryptic statements that are presumably related to the 'termination' of veteran Halo composer Martin O'Donnell:

"We know what you want to ask us. We wish we could help you make sense of what's going on. Sometimes saying nothing is the only right thing to do. Sometimes saying nothing is the hardest thing to do."

Bungie released five new screenshots for Destiny last week. The Destiny beta will begin in summer 2014.
