Key points
- Destiny 3 is in supposedly early development.
- Numerous leakers reported on the news.
- Destiny 2’s playerbase is dwindling after more than seven years of continued update.
Two Bungie leakers claim that Bungie has begun working on Destiny 3. The claims are still very early on, with one leaker explicitly stating that yes, Destiny 3 is in “extremely early development.”
The leakers have supposedly been sitting on the information for the past couple of weeks, and wanted to wait before starting discourse because the process is in such an early state. More information is said to be coming in the next couple of months as the leakers wait on larger-scale things to develop and take shape.
The news of Destiny 3’s supposed early development comes during a time when Destiny 2 is struggling. Destiny 2’s pinnacle competitive PvP mode, The Trials of Osiris, is experiencing significant drops in the overall player count, largely attributed to the increasing prevalence of cheaters. According to stats taken from the Destiny Trials Report, from Nov. 11 to Nov. 18, the game mode dropped from 56,667 players to 34,719 players, representing a 39% drop off.
Sony recorded impairment losses against a portion of Bungie’s intangible and other assets in connection with its flagship title Destiny 2, amounting to 31.5 billion yen, which is approximately $204 million. Destiny 2 is a free-to-play online first-person shooter developed by Bungie. The game was initially released as a pay-to-play title for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Sept. 6, 2017, and for Windows PC on Oct. 24, 2017.
