Rumour has it that Bungie has started preliminary work on Destiny 3, which if true would comfortably become one of Sony’s biggest releases for the PS6.
The speculation comes courtesy of Colony Deaks, a known Destiny leaker and dataminer who’s revealed accurate information in the past.
Writing on X (or Twitter), the snoop claims they’ve been aware of the sequel’s status for some weeks, but underlined that the project is in an “early state”. The account adds that it intends to share more in the coming months.
Yes, Destiny 3 is in extremely early development. Some of you may have seen a tweet early this afternoon that mentioned that.
We have been sitting on the info for a few weeks now and wanted to wait to talk about this seeing as it is in such an early state, and it just sucks to… pic.twitter.com/VAnw5uB41U

Destiny 2 has been in a tough spot of late, with its player count dwindling following The Final Shape, which concluded the sequel’s saga in 2024.
The company has since tried to keep the shooter relevant with new add-ons, and it’ll be hoping next month’s Star Wars-inspired Renegade brings players back in a big way.
But owner Sony has been very disappointed with the dev’s performance, writing down a $200 million “impairment loss” recently due to the lack of overall engagement with Destiny 2.
It doesn’t help that Bungie also delayed extraction shooter Marathon, which is currently going through another round of testing ahead of its expected release next year. There’ll be a lot of pressure on that game to perform.
All that said, Destiny 3 would represent an opportunity for the dev to start over and onboard new players again, with its current game notoriously impenetrable to anyone but the most engaged fans.
However, if progress is “extremely early”, like the leaker states, we wouldn’t expect the sequel to be ready for at least another four or five years, which means we may not be playing it until 2030 or so.
That would put it comfortably in the PS6 era, and would make it one of the biggest Sony releases of the generation. But it’s hard to get too excited with the purported project potentially so many years away.
