Red Bull will also bring to life its unique marketing mix including collegiate tournaments, world-class Red Bull Athletes, and inspiring storytelling around the quest. A teaser video kicks off the journey and is available at www.redbullquest.com.

Whether a player is new to Destiny or with us since launch, the special quest promotion will help give them the 'wings' and experience boost to take on The Taken King."

The limited edition Destiny can will also feature Red Bull athlete, member of professional eSports organization OpTic Gaming, and Destiny super-fan Michael "Flamesword" Chaves. Chaves will offer his expertise and experience as an eSports athlete and coach to help guide players through the quest. His inclusion on the cans will also mark the first time an eSports athlete appears on a limited edition Red Bull Energy Drink can.

"I'm really excited to be a part of this partnership. I love that Red Bull and Destiny have a shared sense of adventure, camaraderie, and pushing boundaries that both brands embody. As a former Coach of OpTic Gaming and Team Captain of my current squad, I'm always looking to help others be at their best. I am very much looking forward to coaching the Destiny community through the quest and help everyone Become Legend!"

The first Destiny-branded cans will be available exclusively across 7-Eleven stores in July with a full retail roll-out in August. Closer to the launch of The Taken King, special Destiny-branded 4-packs of Red Bull will be available exclusively at Walmart that contain a Mega XP Accelerator, giving Destiny players an even greater advantage leading up to the launch.
