Destiny 2 PC launch and release date still unknown as Bungie tease 2017 launch
DESTINY 2 is set to be launched later in 2017 by Bungie, who have yet to confirm the exact release date, or if a PC version will be launched alongside PS4 and Xbox One.
The studio officially announced Destiny 2 earlier today but was pretty light on facts.
In fact, all fans got was a picture, teasing what looks to be a serious plotline in the new game; there was no official announcement on the exact launch date, or if Bungie are planning a PS4, Xbox One and PC version.
The new image shows the Destiny 2 logo, as well as Earth’s last City coming under heavy attack.
The game was recently leaked via a new poster sourced in Italy, with the Destiny 2 release date appearing as September 8, 2017.
Other sources also clarified the information, as well as information that a Destiny 2 PC release was also set to be announced.
A Destiny 2 beta is also set to be released on PS4 in June before other platforms, no dates have been confirmed for Xbox One and PC.
If the Destiny 2 release date is confirmed today, it could come in the form of the usual Bungie blog post run by community manager David Dague.
Interestingly, the apparent storyline of Earth’s last city being attacked was recently hinted at by a Destiny Mega Bloks set on Amazon.
The Cabal Goliath Tank Building Set, Cabal Bruiser Battle Building Set, and Aspect Of Glass Building Set appeared on the retail site early, and may have given away a major plot point for the upcoming Destiny sequel.
The Cabal Bruiser Battle Building Set featured the following description: "Set the scene for a clash between a Bruiser's crushing strength and a master swordsman's skill. A legendary warrior faces his greatest contest yet in the Tower hangar.
“Wielding his Raze-Lighter, hero of the Crucible Lord Shaxx prepares to pit his blade against the furious cleavers of a Cabal Red Guard."
There has never been a battle in the Tower before, which suggests that this could be something being saved for an epic set battle in Destiny 2.
Dramatic teaser for Destiny Age of Triumph
Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg was one of the last people to provide solid info on the Destiny sequel, telling investors at a Q&A: “[W]e've got a big reveal planned and I'm going to let the game do most of the talking, but I'll give you some broad strokes.
"I think that our team and our great partners at Bungie are doing a very nice job on two fronts.
"One, if you're one of the millions of players who's really invested in Destiny 1 and have put a lot of hours and passion into that game, you're going to love this game, and there's a lot more of what you love here.
"For anyone who either hasn't yet tried Destiny or hasn't played in a while, we think we've made a sequel that's going to have a lot for them to love, too.
"The cornerstone of that is a great cinematic story that's been a real focus with a great cast of memorable, relatable characters, coupled with some very nice ways to make the game more accessible to a casual player.
"Without losing anything that our core players love, we've made it more accessible to someone who just wants to have a great, more casual first-person action experience."
