After a long holiday, Bungie is back to work this week. The game hasn’t officially been announced, and is only semi-public knowledge because of a 2012 contract leak, but this wouldn’t be the first time Schreier broke major news about Destiny.

Expect more details to arrive next week. Thus, Destiny 2 has likely been delayed past its September 2016 projection. As we’ve reported, Destiny saw a massive reboot in the summer of 2013, when studio leadership rebooted the story and overhauled everything they’d built. Bungie has this insanely ambitious idea, but things keep on moving around.
Internal sources at Bungie told Kotaku a few possibilities for the future of Destiny. There’s little doubt that last year’s expansion, The Taken King, gave the shooter the kick up the arse that it so desperately needed, but now that many players have exhausted the latest content, there’s a lingering feeling that something’s not quite right with Bungie’s often referenced “ten year plan”.
Destiny is getting a special Valentine’s Day event for the first time in its history, and the development team at Bungie is planning to deliver a new game mode called Crimson Doubles to celebrate the occasion, which will involve 2 versus 2 battles.
When do you think Destiny 2 will make an appearance?
That’s all speculation, though; I don’t know what else they’ll wind up doing in 2016, and from the sound of it, Bungie isn’t sure either. Bungie is taking a new approach with DLC this year by adding in free events with microtransactions, and removing paid DLC.

More communication with fans would help, but Bungie has never been known for transparency, even among their own employees. The Destiny malaise may linger a while longer.
