But besides some rumors about Destiny 2, fans have had very little to go on. Release dates can shift and with a rumor about the sequel being rebooted, there has been no telling how Destiny 2’s development has been going. According to the game’s publisher, Activision, the sequel to Bungie’s sci-fi shared world shooter is still on track to launch next year.
During an Activision Blizzard financial conference call, Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg says Destiny 2 is still expected to hit its previously announced 2017 release date, and will continue to expand its player base, as well as give veterans reasons to return:
Hirshberg said Activision expects Destiny 2 to bring in “millions of new fans” to the franchise. He also made mention of additional content, which has varied over Destiny’s history from larger expansions, to smaller live events, and all-out content droughts. Hirshberg said Activision and Bungie have come up with a “very smart approach” to bring a steady stream of new content to players in Destiny 2:
That no doubt involves Activision company High Moon Studios, who is now working full-time with Bungie on Destiny 2. Very little is known about Destiny 2 right now, but there was some leaked concept art, which was later confirmed to be a failed pitch for the game. Of course, Destiny’s newest expansion, Rise of Iron, launched this September, and Bungie continues to tease that there’s more coming that the developer has yet to reveal.
Destiny 2 is set to release sometime in 2017.
