Bungie Revives Destiny With Unvaulted Destiny 2 Content and New Games Plans

3 articles · Updated · IGN · Sep 21

Summary

  • Bungie said it is "absolutely not done with Destiny," reversing months of uncertainty after Destiny 2 support effectively ended with June's Monument of Triumph update.
  • Poria Torkan and Josh Deane said the studio wants to rebuild trust by returning Destiny to its original promise of mystery, discovery and shared community play.
  • The first concrete step is unvaulting Destiny 2 campaigns, destinations and raids that Bungie said never should have been removed, acknowledging vaulting damaged player trust and enjoyment.
  • Bungie stopped short of confirming Destiny 3, but Deane said the company plans to deliver the "new Destiny stories and games" players deserve as part of a broader franchise future.

Insights

Could reviving massive legacy campaigns bring back the exact game-breaking bloat and bugs that forced Bungie to delete them initially?
