Bungie tweets ignite Destiny 3 rumors amidst Final Shape launch

Bungie has launched the Destiny 2 expansion, The Final Shape, which wraps up the intricate storyline by placing players inside the Traveler for a climactic showdown against The Witness. Despite this being a significant milestone, Bungie developers have hinted that this may not be the end of the Destiny series. A series of cryptic tweets from Bungie executive creative director Luke Smith, emphasizing the word "Hope," has ignited speculation about Destiny 3 among fans. The Final Shape is divided into three episodes: Echoes (June 11, 2024), Revenant (October 2024), and Heresy (February 2025). This expansion could lead to a potential next-gen entry with Destiny 3 or even a new franchise.

While Bungie has not confirmed the development of Destiny 3, cryptic hints and tweets from developers suggest that it might be on the horizon.

Destiny has been a cornerstone franchise for Bungie since its release in 2014. Starting with the original Destiny game, the series has developed a rich lore and a dedicated fanbase, thanks in part to its groundbreaking multiplayer and live-service elements. The potential release of Destiny 3 could serve as a fresh start, possibly leveraging next-gen technology to bring in new players, while maintaining the loyalty of existing fans.
