New Info on ‘Destiny 2’ Alarm Bells, Marathon’s Role and ‘Destiny Infinity’ Pitch

Bungie reportedly began rethinking Destiny 2’s future after Edge of Fate missed expectations, with Renegades’ weak performance adding urgency.

The studio explored major alternatives, including a large expansion relaunch under Destiny Infinity or a full sequel, Destiny 3.

Both paths were reportedly ruled out because they were too expensive and risky.

The decision to end Destiny 2 development was made earlier this year, according to the report.

Marathon is part of Bungie’s broader resource picture, but it was not the immediate trigger for the shift.
