Bungie Says the Way Players 'Showed Up' for Destiny 2 Mattered, and Fans Can't Believe It Means More Games Are on the Way

Through all of the uncertainty and livestream chat takeovers, Bungie has confirmed more Destiny is coming, and fans can't believe it.

In case you missed it, the Sony-owned game developer confirmed earlier today that more Destiny "stories and games" are on the way just four months after it launched the final major update for Destiny 2. Content is in the process of being unvaulted, too, with the studio promising that the long-running sci-fi shooter franchise remains "foundational" to its future.

Today, we’re sharing more about the future of Bungie, including our plans for Destiny, Marathon, and how we’re changing the way we work. Read more on https://t.co/ZkmLWmaQZr: https://t.co/QbDwADGinr pic.twitter.com/F5tcXF0TsN

Calling this a change of tune would be an understatement. Sony and Bungie announced in May of this year that the Monument of Triumph update would be the last major Destiny 2 update when it launched in June. While the content drop did manage to bring a significant spike in players as fans pleaded for the studio to not abandon the IP, no news of any future Destiny projects was ever announced, and before today, it didn't seem like it ever would be. Bungie does have Marathon to worry about, after all.

There was next to no reason to suspect the campaign to save Destiny would ever be successful. So, when Bungie made its announcement today, explicitly mentioning how fans directly impacted its decision to commit to more Destiny content, everyone lost their minds.

"Bungie would not be what it is today without Destiny and the vibrant community that has rallied around it for more than a decade," the studio said in a post on its website today. "When we announced that Monument of Triumph would be the final content update to Destiny 2, you responded in force. Your voices mattered, and the way you showed up made a real impact. You reminded everyone how much this world, its history, and its future still mean to you."

Somehow, Destiny has returned, and at least based on today's announcement, players can thank themselves for making it happen. Social media is currently flooded with reactions from the more vocal campaigners and the ones who never thought their efforts would make a difference. It's a different kind of triumph that players didn't expect, even if it's unclear when exactly they'll see more content arrive.

"Holy s**t. We actually f**king won!" Destiny and Warframe content creator My name is Byf said. "They're un-vaulting content, and are making moves to create more Destiny in the future! We actually did the thing! We made our own fate!"
