Destiny 2: The Future of Bungie and the Destiny Series

I love Destiny. If you disliked the game I apologize in advance because this post will be slightly biased.

Overview
Destiny was the game that had everything a gamer ever wanted, but then was criticized heavily for its creativity. People either criticized the game for the repetitiveness of the missions or the story line in general. Obviously there is a lot more to talk about like crucible matches, raids, weapon variability, and other things that I found extremely fun, but in general the game was not well received by the gaming community. Nonetheless I am here to focus on the future of Bungie and the Destiny series if we ever see another Destiny game.

The Story of Bungie
Bungie was an independent game developer that started out of Chicago in 1991. They started by making a couple successful platform games for the PC. After these games received their success Microsoft signed them to a contract. Their first task under Microsoft was to develop the Halo series, which as you know became highly successful. Then in 2007 Bungie announced it had split from Microsoft and became an independent company once again. In more recent news Bungie changed CEOs in 2016 because of the apparent slow production speed of the next Destiny game.

DLC After Rise Of Iron?
A DLC after Rise of Iron is probably not happening. Originally Rise of Iron itself was not supposed to be developed, but because of Destiny 2 being pushed back Bungie felt the Destiny community needed something to hold them over until the new game could be finished. This is all just based on the information currently available and no official statements have been made. Bungie has not released any details on the next Destiny game or their next project in general. We do know that Bungie has a 10 year contract with Activision, so we know something will probably be produced soon.

What We Will Get
We will probably see one last major update to Destiny before Bungie finally calls it quits for the game. This update will probably be related to crucible matches and such, but it shouldn't really add anything new.

Destiny 2
We know absolutely nothing about Destiny 2. We know it is most likely in development and will probably be released fall 2017, but the details and official announcement are no where to be found. I am rather excited for E3 this year because I believe Bungie will announce something in regards to their next game at this event. If they don't announce anything I will be extremely disappointed because I have waited too long for this announcement. Some rumors floating around have revealed that Destiny 2 will include much larger maps for various planets. I personally did not have a problem with map size, but Bungie is apparently up-scaling your patrol territory in the next game. Other people have said Destiny 2 will be completely different and change everything from the original Destiny. This is all just unconfirmed speculation, so the majority is probably not true. I believe the next story line will stem off of the original and you will again be fighting a new form of "The Darkness" in an attempt to protect the traveler. Again, all speculation; who really knows what we will get.
