Additional Clarity On ‘Destiny 2: Frontiers,’ ‘Destiny 3’ And The State Of Bungie

In the wake of Bungie’s mass layoffs and transfer of functions to Sony, the future of Destiny 2 and other jobs stays uncertain. The authorities line kind Bungie is simply that absolutelynothing about revealed prepares have altered, which indicates…two Destiny Episodes, “Frontiers” after that and Marathon in 2025.

Further reporting has dug into what exactly is occurring next, and I’ll shot to include to that with extra context, material and information from discussions with sources familiar with the scenario. It is definitely possible things wear’t come to pass as prepares modification. This covers a number of subjects, and I might change bits and pieces of this if more information continues to come in.

Future Destiny Plans

• The bigger “content loads,” though not real growths, will consistof familiar aspects like brand-new locations, raids and projects, simply much smallersized scale on the entire. Shadowkeep-ish size, perhaps, though not that exactsame format. A objective is establishing more replayable, special activities like The Coil. If we are leaving the system (my speculation) this is where we’d see those brand-new worlds to see. I am not sure if this is totallyfree.
• That will be the primary release of a offered year (I think beginning with Frontiers launch) and then 6 months lateron, there will be another “pack” of smallersized material that’s more something along the lines of what we got with Into the Light. This oughtto be complimentary.
• Between these, there might be something comparable to existing Episodes, though the scale and schedule is not clear.
• Generally speaking, the concept is less stretching, one-off projects and a higher focus on replayable activities, the “hobby” elements. With the brand-new Frontiers format, there aren’t extensive updates that will hit every element of the videogame at once like most growths utilized to. It will be less than gamers are utilized to, not to state there will not be things worth playing.

Cancelled Projects, Destiny 3

• Some components of Payback appeared to be forming up well, the 3rd individual experience spin-off shooter Luke and Mark were doing. I have not heard anybody state it was a flat-out bad concept or dreadful in practice, even if the idea sounded like a considerable departure for the series.
• Have heard several individuals state that of all tasks, Gummybears appears the most appealing, the videogame that is going over to Sony under the brand-new group. It has MOBA and Smash Bros-ish battling videogame aspects and is expected to be really enjoyable.
• Destiny 3 was and is thoughtabout too huge of a danger in the existing market. The concept was rather to split up Destiny as an IP into more workable parts. The PvE part we have now continuing in D2, Payback for an experience category growth, a mobile Destiny videogame from NetEase and spinning out a different 3v3 Crucible videogame carrying Trials. It appears none of this is takingplace now, alongwith Destiny 3 neverever being in production in the veryfirst location. There are no prepares to simply…shutter Destiny, nevertheless, and longterm rebranding stays uncertain. But it’s D2 “Frontiers” material just for the indefinite future and Marathon stays The Big Thing right now going into 2025.
• One of Destiny’s mostsignificant continuous concerns is that its playerbase is skewing much older than everybody desires to see, which is uneasy to higher-ups. You desire to drawin a moreyouthful crowd and that was no longer takingplace, thus the desire for brand-new tasks like Marathon and Gummybears. And another factor as to why no Destiny 3.

Bungie Internally

• Everyone does not trust management at all however management does not truly appear to comprehend that, and some infact think this week and this circumstance went well, thinkingabout.
• The sheer quantity of things that was done for the Final Shape was huge, story was reworded numerous times, objectives upgraded numerous times. During the hold-up they developed a gigantic quantity of brand-new content, Dread, Dual Destiny, the Verity comeacross, unique class products, Ergo Sum, GM Excision. The factor being is that the studio was informed the growth was “make or break” and now they all feel lied to for…obvious factors. Now the brand-new mantra is that Marathon is make or break for the studio.
• The brand-new gamer onboarding experience stays bad since the group who did the Cosmodrome/Shaw Han things got one fracture at it and then basically no one ever attempted anything of signifi
