Smith designed the first raid of Destiny, the Glass Vault, and was responsible for it. He was the game director of “King of the Taken.” The former journalist and WoW-freak is considered Bungie’s “best horse in the stable,” but he has become quite rare since the completion of the marketing tour for TTK.
Now, Smith is being urged by numerous people to change his short description on Twitter. Currently, it still says “Director, unannounced game@bungie” – now he could write that it’s Destiny 2. But so far, Smith has only tweeted. Perhaps we will know more soon.
It shouldn’t be long before Destiny 2 is officially announced – probably also for PC.

And what does Bungie say? Well, Bungie isn’t saying anything yet. But the supposed game director of Destiny 2, Luke Smith, has made a statement. He tweeted this picture – whatever that might mean.

Destiny 2 Release Date: Leak points to release date
The release date for Destiny 2 is triggering interesting reactions worldwide.
A while ago, an Italian retailer leaked a poster for Destiny 2 with the release date September 8.
As soon as the date was out, several media outlets spoke up and said: Yes, it’s true! The poster is real, and the release date fits. We have heard that too.
Such leaks have somehow become a tradition at Bungie. Photos of promo materials are constantly shown months before the actual release date. During Rise of Iron a year ago, it was also a poster. Before that, they had left a palette with Red Bull somewhere – even there, they leaked information about an event that was supposed to be secret.
You could almost assume that such strategic leaks are part of the marketing strategy for the MMO shooter.
Eurogamer and Kotaku know more about the release date of Destiny 2
At Eurogamer, their employee Tom Phillips is quoted with bonus info on Destiny 2. He knows that a Destiny 2 beta is supposed to come first for the PS4 in June. That’s what he “heard.”
Yep no surprises – Destiny 2 beta coming to PS4 first. Heard it’ll hit around June. https://t.co/a0qoyYhelB

“Really more information” usually comes from the US site Kotaku, and the author is Jason Schreier. He has frequently tapped sources from within Activision or Bungie in the past and then quoted them hot off the press.
This time too, Schreier stepped in and said: “Yes, it’s real. And we have heard that Bungie plans to announce Destiny 2 today.” However, this turned out to be a mistake.
Schreier took to Twitter again and said: “I misunderstood a message; it doesn’t have to be today. But soon.”
Ah fuck – I misread a text. Important correction: Destiny 2 might not be announced *today*. Will be soon, though. (Yes, poster is real.)

The other big gaming sites don’t know much more. PC Gamer notes: If Destiny 2 comes, then it will surely also be for PC. You can almost read between the lines, “That’s why we can report on it now!”
