It has been quite a while since we last saw a midnight launch held at EB Games stores across Australia, and the lucky video game to receive the demand for such events is Activision’s / Bungie’s multiplatform release of Destiny. EB Games have announced that midnight launches will be held at 250 EB Games stores across the country, with an additional 290 stores holding early-morning Breakfast launches.
This is in addition to their Official Australian Launch events at EB Liverpool in Sydney, with activities kicking off at 9PM on September 8th, and five major launches at their stores in Carindale (QLD), Helensvale (QLD), Tea Tree Plaza (SA), Knox City (VIC) and Joondalup (WA – Breakfast). Irrespective of if you attend a major or minor midnight/breakfast launch location, you will be able to get your copy of the game earlier than you usually would if stores were opening at the usual time on the day of launch.
Debra McGrath | EB Games – National Brand, Events and Entertainment Manager
Although Destiny is a new IP it represents the holy grail for gamers with the game coming from Bungie, the creators of Halo, and Activision, the publisher of Call of Duty. So it is no surprise that we have received a record number of requests for the game to be available at midnight.
We’re incredibly honoured to be home to the Destiny Official Australian Launch and have over 250 stores opening at midnight. With such an incredible vibe and excitement surrounding Destiny, we want fans to be able to experience the next evolution in gaming as soon as humanly possible.
A full list of stores hosting midnight/breakfast launches can be found below. As this is a long list, I highly recommend you (CTRL + F) the store name you have placed your pre-order at.
