Bungie Will Not Create Destiny 3 Any Time Soon

Bungie has confirmed that Destiny 3 is still years ahead into the future, the studio plans to continue the maintenance and expansions for Destiny 2. Bungie acknowledges that the team is struggling with maintaining the now three-year-old game, the development team will now focus on improve how the game is patched.

With Destiny 1, we solved the “ever expanding, exponential complexity” problem by making a sequel in Destiny 2. We left behind all of Destiny 1’s content and many of the features players grew to love. We believe now that it was a mistake to create a situation that fractured the community, reset player progress, and set the player experience back in ways that took us a full year to recover from and repair.
It’s a mistake we don’t want to repeat by making a Destiny 3. We don’t believe a sequel is the right direction for the game and for the past two years we have been investing all of our development effort into new content, gameplay, and new engine features that directly support a single evolving world in Destiny 2.
The studio also acknowledges that the unrelenting growth in the game has led to an immense 115GB to play the game, the game has been adding 25GB of content each year to Destiny 2. Bungie admits that those 115 GB “includes a lot of content that isn’t relevant anymore”
Those sizes not only stress hard drive capacity but also push the limits of patching capability. It also makes the time to generate a stable update for the game after all content is finalized, tested, and ready to go balloon to literal days instead of hours.
Certainly, Destiny 2 is a very complete game, but Bungie needs to find a better way to handle new and old content if their ambition is to support the game for at least five more years. The studio also confirmed that Destiny 2 will be ready for next gen consoles,
