No new release date yet. The next update from Bungie will be in the Fall. Quite frankly, I thought the game would just come out and die to cut their losses.

      An extraction shooter from Bungie, wearing the skin of a game that company made 30 years ago, that didn’t test well.

        What? That’s surprising honestly that they aren’t doing destiny 3 or something. I know the final shape just came out but like damn. Extraction shooter is a risk because every single one fails within months. Arc Raiders will also most likely bomb a few weeks after release. (I got to test it, was MEH at best, hopefully they add some stuff to do)

          I could imagine that they didn’t want to do something called “Destiny 3”, because people would expect that to be better than Destiny 2, which is virtually impossible, if you’re gonna start over from scratch, with how many years of development have gone into Destiny 2 by now…

            Bungie put a 10 year life span in destiny 2 when it came out. So… I’d assume destiny 3 would be after then

          What the data pointed to, with tests going around the same time, is that Arc Raiders will likely hit and Marathon will likely bomb very quickly. Destiny isn’t proving to logistically be a solution to their problems either. As we’ve learned more about Bungie since the Sony acquisition, it appeared that they banked on their success continuing forever, but it was very much running out.
