Destiny 2 players are voicing their concerns over the game’s impending end of development, which is set to conclude following a significant update on June 9. Efforts to express these sentiments have included a petition that has garnered over 340,000 signatures, urging Bungie to develop Destiny 3.
In response to the announcement of the June 9 update, player engagement has seen a notable increase, with peak player counts nearly tripling. Fans are organizing a large-scale login event for that day. Additionally, players have taken to social media to amplify their call for a new game by using hashtags, written requests, and emotes during Sony’s recent State of Play presentation.
While this strategy drew attention, its effectiveness remains uncertain. Players are primarily asking Sony to reconsider its decision to halt development on Destiny 2 and potentially greenlight a Destiny 3 project, which could involve significant financial investment and risk.
Bungie is reportedly exploring various new game concepts, though details are limited. Previous projects included smaller-scale Destiny experiences and one that was released, a mobile game titled Destiny Rising. Fans hope that their demands will highlight the continued viability of the Destiny franchise and encourage ongoing development efforts.
As June 9 approaches, the community’s efforts, including petitions and social media campaigns, demonstrate their commitment to the franchise, though the likelihood of significant changes remains in question.
