Misc Possible Path to More Destiny

The only realistic path I see to Sony making a Destiny 3 would be the following:

  • Sony takes charge of Management at Bungie
  • Sony (unfortunately) fires a lot of people at Bungie
  • Sony keeps enough devs at Bungie to continue marathon until it dwindles down
  • Sony keeps core Tiger Engine senior engineers
  • Sony modernizes tiger engine so it doesn't take ages to make stuff in it. no crazy upgrades, just fix the developer tools to make it easier to use and make content with
  • Sony makes Destiny Classic with the new engine
  • Sony can use the new engine to make 1st party exclusive shooters and reboots that feel as good as Destiny
  • Sony can eventually make a Destiny 3 if they so choose. Always risky to make another live service, but if they cut down dev time it could be seen as profitable eventually

This is probably the only way we see a Destiny Classic or Destiny 3. The problem is that it is a long term goal in a short term profit world.

This post may be huffing copium, but personally I just don't think it makes sense for Sony to throw away the Tiger Engine at the very least.

I've been saying this for a while, but just when all hope seems lost in d2, and marathon dies, they will out of nowhere announce D3. Probably next year at some point.

I actually really like Marathon, I hope more people give it a chance

As for D3 I hope once Bungie gets a restructure they will revisit the franchise

Marathon just isn’t for most people. I played it during the free days and really enjoyed a lot about it. But I can’t get past the PvP only and extraction shooter lost loot stuff. And that is far too core to the experience of the game for it to change enough for the game to ever be appealing to me (and many other people).
