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.
