Over 120,000 Fans Sign Petition for Destiny 3 as Bungie Winds Down Support for Destiny 2
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
A fan petition urging Sony to fund Destiny 3 has surpassed 120,000 signatures following Bungie's announcement that Destiny 2 support will end in June.
An online push to save a beloved gaming universe is gaining serious momentum. A fan petition demanding that Sony greenlight the development of Destiny 3 has rapidly surpassed 120,000 signatures. This outpouring of community demand follows a stunning announcement from developer Bungie regarding the future of the franchise. According to a report by IGN South Africa, Bungie revealed that the final update for Destiny 2 is scheduled for June, effectively closing the book on an era that started back in 2014.
The timing of this petition highlights deep anxieties within the player base regarding Bungie and its broader ecosystem. The studio has faced immense pressure recently following impending layoffs and the commercial struggles of Marathon, its high stakes extraction shooter. For a community that treats these persistent online worlds as primary social hubs and long term digital investments, the sudden halt in content generation feels like an abrupt end to an entertainment lifeline.
Despite the massive showing on the petition, the reality of corporate game development makes a greenlit sequel seem unlikely in the short term. Sony and Bungie are currently navigating a turbulent transitional period, focusing their resources on damage control rather than sprawling new entries. Still, the rapid accumulation of signatures sends a clear message to publishers about the enduring value of established IP and the fierce loyalty of cross platform players who are not ready to let their favorite worlds fade away.
