"If it's delayed than that means they are taking their time and making the game better" I'm going to laugh when Destiny 2 gets released and it's as bad, if not worse than Destiny You guys are so hopeful for this Company that has been nothing but disappointment for 2 years.

How can something be delayed if a release date was never announced for it? When did Bungie say Destiny 2 was even going to be released anytime soon?

Wait...when was Destiny 2 announced? I wasn't expecting that until q1 2018.

Destiny 2 was never going to come out in 2016. Bungie never spends less than 3 years on development for their games. Plus there's still another Vex based expansion and whatever "Forge of the Gods" turns out to be. You can say that leaked images aren't guarantees all you want but so far that timeline for DLC has been correct other than HoW being delayed and The "Comet" expansion was renamed "The Taken King". Activision is pretty strict with DLC timelines, which is why CoD's DLCs always come out at the same time every year like clockwork. They tried to push that rushed timeline on Bungie and realized it wasn't going to work so they gave them a bit more time in between DLCs after realizing it was a mistake to rush out The Dark Below. The little events & microtransactions are just a way to keep money coming in between major content releases. So I'd still expect to see the "Vex Void" and one expansion after that in 2016, possibly in September as the big kick off to "year 3". Then maybe at E3 Bungie will announce Destiny 2. Destiny began it's concept stages as early as 2007 because there was an Easter egg in Halo 3: ODST with the Destiny logo. As soon as work finished on Halo 3, they were already working on the ideas for the game. And then Destiny was first announced at E3 2012, more than two years before it came out. I just don't see them saying "surprise here's Destiny 2" without at least a full year's notice to give it time to build hype. Activision is really good at hyping up games and they'll want to make Destiny 2 seem a million times better than its predecessor even if it's only slightly different (like CoD games every year). In order to do that they'll need at least a full year to advertise and create hype, kinda like a politician campaigning for votes. They also spent a ton on Destiny so they'll milk this game until it's no longer profitable before releasing a new game that will take profits away from the current game. If Destiny is making them money, they'll keep supporting it.

Kotaku is for nerds.

Bungie has, to my knowledge, never released a console game on initial schedule. This was predictable, and they are doing it to make a better game. It's a good thing.

Dead? Taken King has been out almost 4 months. Most games don't last that long and this one is still popular on twitch for its MP. Just sssshhhhh

From what I understand, there has been no official release date for Destiny 2. So how can it then be delayed?

Don't know about you, but I'd rather wait a long time for a badass game to come out, rather than "oh no better cut it out and sell it as DLC so we can make the timeline"

Usually when a game is delayed it is so it can be made better, so have destiny 2 be delayed does not mean destiny is dead.

I'm fine if it's delayed and a better game for it
