The signs are increasing that the luxury MMO Destiny, developed by Bungie for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4, could also be released for PC. A leak mentions March 2015 as the expected date.
The website breathecast refers to a leak in connection with Destiny that allegedly allowed some players to find Destiny in the Steam database as of now. It is supposedly intended for March 2015. How plausible this leak is difficult to say. However, it fits with previous statements from Activision, which make a PC port seem very likely.
Could Destiny 2 come to PC in 2017? These 5 reasons say: Yes.
Already in June, the online magazine Polygon conducted an interview with Erik Hirshberg, the CEO of Activision. He mentioned back then that the PC was a “good fit” for Destiny, meaning it was a suitable platform.
A port to PC is something that is being discussed and closely examined, as it is obvious how well Destiny fits on PC when considering the genre and type of game. It is important to set such an enormous and risky project like Destiny on as many legs as possible. While many players only talk about next-gen consoles, and the impression is that everything revolves around Xbox One and PlayStation 4, there are still many people on other systems looking to buy a next-gen console.
However, they did not want to be drawn into a release date or an official announcement at the time, as they were already designing the game for four platforms. From Hirshberg’s statements to Polygon, it can be inferred that Activision felt they had their hands full. When developing for as many platforms as they are now, it is important to just take one step at a time. However, according to the magazine, Activision sees the potential for the game on PC, as Hirshberg stated.
