Destiny 2 confirmed for 2017, Activision already promising “follow on content plans”

Activision will release a “full” sequel to the original Destiny this year alongside post-launch content. In an update, Activision says the 2017 edition will seek to broaden the brand’s global reach which in addition with other plans, set the foundation for growth.

In January 2016, another Kotaku report also penned by Schreier revealed that Destiny 2 had been delayed until 2017 from its planned release past year.

Just earlier, we reported that Destiny 2 is dubbed as Destiny 2: Forge of Hope. To quench Destiny 2 fans thirst, I’ll cover all the factual stuff and leave the new video below to cover the rumors. The target “Destiny 2” release date is scheduled in the fall of 2017. Along with this rumor, it has been said that the game will be ported to the Xbox Scorpio along with the release on the PS4, PS4 Pro, and the Xbox One.

There were a million points of interest in Activision’s earnings call yesterday, chief among them that Blizzard is absolutely destroying everything in its path and leading to record revenue generation.

Though Tippl didn’t mention as much specifically, the much-anticipated sequel is anticipated to launch on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and – finally – PC. Let us wait for more details at E3 2017. The new Destiny installment may also make use of a new game engine which can affect characters from the previous installment.

The drama behind the development of the first Destiny game, coupled with a fevered fan base that has sunk ungodly numbers of hours into Bungie’s massively multiplayer online shooter, has players praying for smooth development on Destiny 2. Do you see it as a good thing if more players can access the game, perhaps even with cross platform servers or would a PC release ultimately hold back console development?
