‘Destiny 2’ Release Date November 2017: Players To Lose Character Progress?
Rei LantionHotFix 2.5.0.2 goes live on "Destiny" servers February 14, but that's not the only piece of news surrounding Bungie's first-person shooter this week. Activision's recent confirmation of a 2017 release for "Destiny 2" has only served to excite fans further for the imminent sequel. It will reportedly be released during fall this year, promising a "great cinematic story" and an "easy entry point" for new players.
Release Date: November 2017
In an investor report, Activision confirmed that a "full" sequel their 2014 "Destiny" game is still on the company's 2017 release schedule. According to Eurogamer, Destiny 2 launches autumn 2017, and it focuses on "accommodating new or lapsed players into the franchise." The Verge also confirms this, saying that Activision has "officially revealed" the second installment will debut some time in fall this year.
Express UK reports on a similar release, stating that "Destiny 2" will supposedly launch between November 4 and November 18 this year. However, it also mentions that neither Bungie nor Activision have officially confirmed the release date. Furthermore, Eurogamer doesn't reveal its source for the supposed release season. In fact, Daily Star UK writes that, other than the confirmation for a release this 2017, "a precise release date has yet to be announced."
Character Progress Reset, Start Over for 'Destiny 2'
One of the biggest concerns for fans was whether they could bring their current character into the sequel or if they would have to start from scratch in "Destiny 2."
Bungie's original plan was to let players keep their character to give a sort of connection and continuity between the original and the sequel. However, it's looking like plans have changed. The Verge reports that it's very possible Bungie will reset character progress, requiring players to start over.
According to Activision executive Eric Hirshberg, they want to make the game "more accessible to a casual player." He also says that they've made the sequel very friendly for first-timers and players who may not have played "Destiny" in a while. This could be attained by starting everyone over with a fresh character slate.
