NOW WITH MORE STORY CONTENT! *ahem*
In recent news, Activision and Bungie have both announced that the development process of Destiny 2 has already been started, and this is likely to keep in line with their 10 year plan for the franchise. This coincies with the information found in the Activision v Infinity Ward court case, where the 10 year plan originated. Further detailing stated that
1A. Release Plan A
The release plan for the Destiny Games ("ReIease Plan") is currently comprised of four (4) major retail Destiny
Game releases tentatively scheduled for the Fall of 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019 and four (4) Comet releases
following each Destiny Game release tentatively scheduled for the Fall of 2014, 2016,_ 2018 and 2020. ln
addition, as part of the Destiny Games Licensor shall also produce DLC Releases as mutually agreed by the
parties in the time periods between retail Destiny Games and Comet releases.
In a recent article, it was stated that,
Destiny 2 is already in development, with Activision revealing that, ‘work has also begun on future expansion packs, as well as on our next full game release’.
The future expansions are presumably downloads beyond the two already announced, but as you can see there’s no indication of when a sequel would be out.
