Bungie and Activision has announced the introduction of the Destiny 2 Ghost Skill for Alexa, which gives players the chance to use the first-ever Alexa voice integration in a live video game experience. This was revealed by senior vice president Tom Taylor at Amazon Alexa, and Byron Beede, Activision’s senior vice president of Product Management. This reveal took place at the AWS re:Invent 2017 conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the Destiny 2 Ghost Skill being voiced by renowned voice actor Nolan North, and is now available for free via the Alexa app.
Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision, commented: “The Destiny 2 Ghost skill is the first of its kind and the most innovative and immersive gaming experience to date on Alexa. We’re excited to give our community of players, who are among the most-dedicated fans in the world, new ways to play Destiny 2 with the Ghost skill and Limited-Edition Destiny 2 Ghost. The lines between in-game and out-of-game have been blurred in an incredible new way.”
The Destiny 2 Ghost Skill will serve as a premier companion for Destiny 2 players, which creates all new ways for players to interact with the game. For example, you’ll be able to state phrases such as “Alexa, ask Ghost to…” with a variety of utterances such as “…tell me which friends are online,” to asking “…what should I do next?” giving recommendations for what to play next based on players’ real-time current progress, to “…call for back up.”
Destiny 2 is now available on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
