Bungie rules out Destiny 3, will focus on new projects after Destiny 2 ends

Bungie has no plans to develop Destiny 3. After content updates for Destiny 2 conclude in June, the studio will instead incubate new projects while continuing post-launch support for Marathon.

Following Bungie's May 22 announcement that Destiny 2 content updates will end with a final release on June 9, 2026, the studio confirmed it has no immediate new project lined up. Significant layoffs are expected at that time. Marathon will continue to receive support, while the rest of the studio works on new ideas until Sony approves one for full development. The game itself will remain playable after live-service support ends.
