In Destiny 2, the release date is still unknown. But the Guardians are already on the lookout for clues. And they have found something: Here is what we know about the release date of Destiny 2.
Currently, little is known about Destiny 2. A release date is planned for “Autumn 2017.” This was announced by Activision during the earning call on February 9.
The calendar autumn actually refers to the period from September 1 to November 30.
A release of Destiny 2 within this period would fit the strategy of Destiny.
Release Date Destiny 2 – the month and “Tuesday” seem to be certain
So far, all major releases for Destiny have been in September:
- Destiny itself was released on September 9, 2014
- The Taken King began its reign on September 15
- And Rise of Iron launched on September 20
- All three were “Tuesdays.”
We have known this for a while; this alone would not be newsworthy, but since last week, there is more.
It seems quite interesting now, that Destiny 1 is supposed to end with a “bang.” In the stream from last Wednesday, the designers explained the timeline for the new “Daybreak Strikes.”
When the “Daybreak” modifier is active, Guardians in Nightfall enter Super mode and fire their supers and abilities much faster than usual.
Normally, this modifier is only active every 4 weeks to remain something special. However, it was announced in the stream that from July 18, the Superman modifier will be active for 6 weeks. So almost the whole of August.
The first Tuesday without the “Superman modifier” in Destiny 1 would then be August 29.
When is Destiny 2 coming? September 5 is the likely release date
This has now created a little hype. It is possible that Bungie is celebrating the end of Destiny 1 with this “6-week power stretch,” where Guardians can really go all out before starting at the bottom of the power spectrum in Destiny 2.
This would mean: A release of Destiny 2, a release date, would be possible for August 29 or (more likely) for September 5. Then there would be a “rest week” between the Daybreak period and Destiny 2, and it would land in September.
Currently, these are just speculations. It is expected that Bungie will reveal more about Destiny 2 and a release date at E3 2017, which takes place from June 13 to June 15. And it would not be surprising if the release date for Destiny 2 comes out around September 5.
Update: New leak mentions September 8
Update 23.3.: A poster has appeared. The poster mentions September 8 as the release date for Destiny 2. That would be the Friday after the date we had set.
