Back in May 2012, we informed you about Bungie’s plans regarding Destiny. According to the leaked contract, Destiny 2 was meant to hit the PC platform. And from what we’ve been hearing lately, it appears that Destiny 2 will be indeed coming to the PC platform.
We’ve been hearing about a PC version of Destiny 2 for a while, however we decided to refrain from publishing anything until we had more information.
Earlier today, NeoGAF’s member ‘benny_a’ claimed that Destiny 2 would be coming to the PC. Kotaku then published an article, claiming that this rumour was indeed true. And then, industry insider ‘shinobi602’ revealed that the game is coming to the PC, and revealed some new information about it.
According to shinobi602, Destiny 2 is coming to the PC and will feel like a completely new game.
“Destiny 2 is being overhauled so that they can build upon it in the future without having to work within the frame work limitations that D1 setup. Right now, the way things play out, we have to introduce playspaces so that players can engage in systems or activities, but it creates a huge barrier that must be overcome on both the networking & design side so, they’re going to do more open playspaces that incorporate towns, outposts, etc into more common areas. This means fewer hardlines for areas and having them be gated by menus. Goal is to have players conducting things & making activity decisions while still in control of their character, instead of having to exit out into an activity hub. Think of how in WoW, you hit a button and queue into activities you want to do all while still playing your character. “
Destiny 2 will feature a better storyline and there will be major narrative changes in terms of plot direction, pacing & structure. The game’s render tech will receive an overhaul as it will no longer support old-gen platforms (X360 and PS3). New races and factions are also planned.
“Major narrative changes are on board for D2. Both in terms of plot direction, pacing & structure. Major focus is going to be on the Cabal & Saturn. Saturn is a playspace is set to be bigger than all of the playspaces currently implemented in the game combined. This is in large part of the scale of playspaces being redesigned, so it’ll be both bigger & denser with activities. There’s a reason Guardians take the fight to Saturn.
Major changes to the engine are occurring. Their render tech has gone through some major iteration thanks in large part to getting to approach it without having last-gen as a limit. Because of this, they are still undecided what, if any, of Destiny’s old content, both in terms of playspace, areas, Strikes & raids, will be available through D2. There is talk in possibly allowing D1 remain as its own client, which flies against how Destiny currently operates, where as the new content renders the old client & content obsolete.”

I can’t decide what’s more depressing: the fact that Destiny is getting a sequel in the first place or the fact that people will still buy it.
That people will buy it.
You don’t want to throw money at the screen when you see the dancing animation microtransactions the designers threw in? You must be one of those fake gamers, dirty casual.
Why would people not buy the greatest game of all time???
:p
Seriously people still play this game.Its a complete grind fest with unbalanced and trash multiplayer and peer to peer multiplayer.Literally each dlc bring the EXACT SAME amount of content as the last dlc. Not counting the micro transactions and the hacking of the games story and content.That and bungie basically cutting out Odownell.
same as as every mmorpg thats f2p.same with skin grinding in mobas and esports.
“same as as every mmorpg thats f2p” Stopped right their this game is not even close to free to play If you bought this game day one now you would be spending what 200 to 180 dollars on ONE game.
um i was making a comparison do be a jack as*.
Well that comparison was sh*t.
You don’t need to make comparisons to be a jack*ss Hvd, you just are one.
dont be rude
<3 u
Do I need to add this games infamous budget of 500 million dollars.
yea
Hope its crap so that I don’t have to buy lots of overpriced DLC for it. Destiny is the most milked AAA game this gen and PC gamers dodged the bullet with that one.
ill get it i stopped after the taken king.destinys issue is content there is none for 7 or 8 months.destiny 2 should have came out months ago.
“Destiny 2 is coming to the PC”
Damn, I only called that about…. 4(?) years ago?
Hey Walikor, have you heard the good news, yet? Your precious Conslows are losing another exclusive 🙁
Is there ANY chance this will it be Win10 exclusive?
Nope, Its an Activision published game.
Not if it comes out within the next 5+ years.
this news say…NOTHING LOL is only a rumor not a confirmation!
anyone can say THIS!
notice how everyone here is saying this game is crap and couldnt possibly care any less, remember that next time you claim if a game is not on pc it is awesome to you but crap to pc gamers and when it gets to pc it is awesome.
Yeah, because, how many of these rumours turn out to be false, exactly?
See, as far as I can tell, the overwhelming majority of “coming to PC” rumours are generally accurate, so…….
YEAH like the rumor of vanquish LOL or yakuza 0!
Both of which have yet to be definitively confirmed either way, you mean?
Nice examples. No, seriously. Genius, mate, genius.
oh you mean like the rumor “metal gear rising is coming to pc”.
Kill it with fire.
Something something Warframe
That’s nice and everything, but what about the original Destiny? With the Scorpio and PS4 Pro coming out, one would think they’d do an Enhanced Edition of sorts just for those and PC.
“With the Scorpio and PS4 Pro coming out, one would think they’d do an Enhanced Edition of sorts”
There are so many things wrong with that statement, i dont mean what you are saying but the fact this statement could be real in the current game’s industry….there is so much wrong with that.
I suppose that would be somewhat frustrating for those console gamers who bought the game already. Considering how much they spent on the game and DLC etc. But it’s beneficial for PC since we’d be getting all the game content at a reduced price.
“we’d be getting all the game content at a reduced price.”
There are games that instead of doing that with late releases they charge you for dlc released ages ago, EDF 4,1 for example
Wasn’t the DLC exclusive to 4.1? I mean the original version isn’t compatible with it, right?
And I still don’t give two turds about it.
I hope it’s totally independent from the console-only game, story-wise as well as gameplay design, so they can incorporate ANYTHING they want from the it and use it fresh in this new game.
As far as I’m concerned, they totally screwed up the 1st one by going console only. It was WASTED, and the e3 hype it generated was wasted as well. Start this off fresh, steal anything you want from the first one, because for the most part, the real audience hasn’t seen it yet and will support the new PC Destiny even more.
The biggest waste of all was making it multi-generational, IMO.
Beyond Bungie’s allergy to the PC, actually crippling themselves by forcing themselves to work around the PS3’s & X360’s antique hardware, LOL.
Not to mention how v1.0 was a trainwreck.
Rumour: Destiny 2 is coming to the PC
Fact: I will not buy it…Fool me once…
No, keep that trash in the console peasants’ play pen, we have higher standards on PC.
yeah indie and no tripla AAA exclusive with a petition for bring the game on the PC (remember dark souls? lol)
Remember witcher 2 ps3?
Also we get star citizen you get one mans lie. which we get too and fix with mods.
Not all console games are garbage, this one happens to be though. And Dark Souls series has sold millions of additional copies thanks to it coming to PC, and we get the best versions far and away.
oh god, please stop saying “playspaces.” It makes me feel like I am back in kindergarten school.
: )
