So, Destiny 2<\/a> is going the way of the dodo\u2014content updates will end in June<\/a>, and a Destiny 3 likely isn’t even in the cards for Bungie<\/a>. As someone who has had one of my favourite MMOs shut down before my eyes (and later given an official license to operate<\/a> on a private server, score) I nonetheless commiserate with you.<\/p>\n

One thing players might be asking themselves in their grief<\/a> is\u2014could the game have been saved? Are there any alternate universes in which Destiny might continue on forever. Perhaps into\u2026 infinity? This is a really cheesy segue, but the answer is yes, reportedly.<\/p>\n

Per Paul Tassi of Forbes<\/a>, unnamed sources at Bungie claim a soft reboot of D2 was considered in the aftermath of the disastrous expansion Edge of Fate<\/a>: “One idea was scrapping the two-expansion model and going back to one big expansion again and renaming the game ‘Destiny Infinity.’ The goal there was a kind of relaunch as opposed to doing a true Destiny 3 to kickstart momentum.”<\/p>\n

The twice-yearly expansion schedule<\/a> wound up being a bit contentious, because\u2014well, it led to the aforementioned Edge of Fate, a sour-note follow up to The Final Shape, which PCG’s own Destiny 2 expert (and editor-in-chief) Phil Savage called “one of the best expansions in the series’ history” in his The Final Shape review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In other words, changing to a twice-yearly expansion cycle after releasing some of your best work probably wasn’t, er, the best choice.<\/p>\n
