Destiny 2 Coming in 2017

The sequel will come after Destiny's expansion this year.

Destiny publisher Activision has confirmed that Destiny 2 will launch sometime in 2017. Activision also said Destiny developer Bungie expects to release a "large new expansion" for the game in 2016.

So far, Bungie has released three expansions for Destiny since the game's debut in September 2014: The Dark Below in December 2014, House of Wolves in May 2015 and The Taken King.

In a blog post, Bungie said it's working on a major Destiny patch for this spring that will deliver "a significant Light increase, a bunch of new gear to earn and equip, and new challenges for PvE players seeking some more fun experiences and replayability." The seasonal events thus far have generally focused on PvP activities.

Bungie has promised that future events will bring new content to Destiny, but hasn't provided any details on the content or the timing of those events.
