This is what AnonTheNine says about Destiny 3
The alleged information is likely to delight many fans of the series, if they are indeed true. Apparently, Bungie continues to cater to the wishes of its core community for Destiny 3.
Destiny 3 development has started: The development of Destiny 3 is reportedly just getting underway, according to the leaker. Game Director is said to be Chris Barret. Luke Smith is also said to play an important role.
Destiny 3 is not for casuals: AnonTheNine claims that if Bungie truly implements its idea of Destiny 3, many players who play for two hours a week will abandon the game.
A whole lot of RPG elements are expected to come— the role-playing aspect is said to be pushed more strongly. The game is expected to become even more “hardcore” than Forsaken.
Guardians use the Darkness: What has already been hinted at in some instances surrounding Destiny might come true. As AnonTheNine claims, Guardians are supposed to use the Darkness in the third installment.
PvEvP Patrol Zones: Moreover, there should be patrol zones in the world where both PvE and PvP are possible. It is said not to be a kind of Dark Zone from The Division. Rather, it will be a battle for territory where PvP has a specific purpose.
Europa as a Patrol Zone: What Bungie has already planned in the original Comet expansion for Destiny 1 is supposedly being implemented in Destiny 3. Jupiter’s moon Europa will likely become a new location there. AnonTheNine posted a picture of Europa with the words: “Can’t wait.” He subsequently clarified his statement: “D3.”
This is what AnonTheNine says about the future of Destiny 2
After his leaks about the return of The Last Word, Thunderlord and some other details, the leaker has also shared some more potential information about the future of Destiny 2:
- The third year of Destiny 2 is also expected to be provided with content through an Annual Pass.
- The Thorn is set to return with the premium content “The Joker’s Wildcard” in Spring 2019.
- A new horde mode is expected to come with The Black Armory in December. The longer one survives there, the better the loot is supposed to become.
- The first raid lair for “Last Wish” is supposed to take place in the EDZ on Earth – specifically in the Old City.
- AnonTheNine emphasizes that he has leaked nothing about the return of the Ice Breaker.
- The EDZ will receive two new zones – whether the Cosmodrome is already included in this is not known.
When does Destiny 3 come out? Actually, the master plan from Activision already has September 2019 slated as the release date. However, if there is, as the leaker says, a year 3 for Destiny 2, then Destiny 3 would be due in September 2020.
Who is AnonTheNine? AnonTheNine is a Reddit user whose leaks about Destiny 2 earned him significant respect in the community. The community suspects that he has a well-informed source or an insider directly at Bungie.
He has already provided fans with extensive information about Destiny 2 and the Forsaken expansion multiple times – often months before the information was officially released or could be found in the game data. The majority of his information has proven to be accurate down to the smallest detail.
While this does not guarantee that he is right this time as well, due to his previous leaks, it seems that his information is not unfounded. Nevertheless, these are unconfirmed details. Therefore, one should also view this leak with a healthy dose of skepticism.
What do you think of these leaks? Would you like to see more RPG elements in Destiny 3?
