Bungie has said it is "absolutely not done with Destiny" just months after the controversial decision to end ongoing support for Destiny 2.
The five-minute upload features Bungie studio head Poria Torkan and head of product, GM of Marathon Josh Deane. The two executives start their surprise talk with fans, promising that Sony has not completely abandoned the Destiny brand after months of fans pleading to see them either return to Destiny 2 or eventually create Destiny 3.
"We're not asking for your trust," Torkan said, acknowledging some of Bungie's recent struggles. "We know we have to earn it, and to do that, we need our games to deliver in ways that exceed your expectations of what you've come to love about the games that we make – and that starts with Destiny.

"Bungie wouldn't be what it is today without it. It's the foundation upon which everything else rests, and we are absolutely not done with Destiny. We have more stories to tell, but we have to do it right and give our teams the time they need to do justice to this amazing universe."
Deane clarified that Bungie's goal is to "return Destiny to its original promise." That means going back to "awe-inspiring mystery, the sense of discovery, and the promise of a community of Guardians rallying together, raging against impossible odds."
It's been a painful few months for the players who stuck by Destiny and Destiny 2 before substantial support came to an end with the Monument of Triumph update in June. Unfortunately, restoring that community and rebuilding trust will take even more time.
"I wish we could just flip a freaking switch, but we're going to commit to unvaulting the Destiny 2 campaigns, the destinations, the raids that never should have been ripped away to begin with," Deane added. "They were an essential part of our journey together and definitely a place where we built memories with y'all."
