Video Game News: Destiny getting a sequel next year

Published February 12, 2016

Destiny got off to a shaky start back when it released in 2014. The game was hyped to the moon and back and when it finally dropped many felt a bit underwhelmed. The story was threadbare and there was not enough content to be excited about. Fast forward a year later with constant updates and expansion packs that were released and the game finally hit its stride. I’ve met many devotees of Destiny and many seem to really enjoy it now.

Bungie have put out a blog post, which you can read below, that says they are planning on doing a full sequel next year for the game. Additionally, there will also be a new update that will give current players some new stuff to keep themselves busy with. There will also probably be a new expansion within this year as well.

A Destiny sequel excites me. They can take all of the lessons they’ve learned from the release of the original game and make a more focused and refined experience. It’s a shame that the devout players now will have to start from scratch, but that might also be addressed sometime.

This week at Bungie Crimson Doubles is in full swing, but that’s not the only dance afoot.

Prior to the holiday break we mentioned a second, larger update slated for Spring. That content release will feature a significant Light increase, a bunch of new gear to earn and equip, and new challenges for PvE players seeking some more fun experiences and replayability.

Beyond that, the team is focused on delivering a large expansion later this year, and a full Destiny sequel in 2017.

As work wraps up in the weeks ahead, look for more details about the Spring content, as well as more information about our bigger projects in the months that follow.

Thanks for your patience, and thanks for playing.
