'Destiny 2' Release Date: Spring 2016 Rumored Launch
Without any official news or announcements from game developer Bungie, only rumors have been circulating about when the next game in the "Destiny" series will be coming out. The most persistent rumor according to most reports is that the game will be released in spring 2016.
Updates about the new game has been scarce since Bungie announced in November 2014 that they are developing a new "Destiny" game, which most fans believed to be "Destiny 2" and not merely a downloadable content (DLC) pack.
The first game in the series, "Destiny," has already released one DLC pack and is set to release another one in a few months.

There is another report however that claims that the new game may come much earlier. According to Venture Capital Post, the game's publisher Activision had mentioned in a blog post that gamers should expect another Destiny-related release in fall 2015, which fans hope will be "Destiny 2."
According to Christian Today, if this second rumor is true, it may not be bad for Bungie and Activision as they will time the release one year after the release of the first game in the series. This cycle has so far worked with their other franchise "Halo."
"Destiny" is a game franchise established by Bungie after its first successful franchise "Halo." It is a first-person shooter game set in what is called "a mythic science fiction setting." It also features "a massively- multiplayer shared world environment with elements of role-playing games." Bungie actually refers to it as "a shared world shooter game."
The first game in the series has already received its first DLC pack "The Dark Below" and is expecting its second DLC in May 2015. In 2014, it was the third best-selling retail game in the US. As of January 2015, the game had 16 million registered users.
The game is available for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 and 4.
