Should We Expect Any Destiny 2 Or Witch Queen News At E3 2021?
Destiny 2 Bungie  Its E3 time, which means loads of big franchises are talking about their upcoming plans. After all, E3 is around the time when Bungie usually reveals their big story expansion for the fall, though you may immediately recognize the problem with that statement. Destiny 2s The Witch Queen is not coming out this fall, nor in 2021 at all. Rather, it has been pushed back to early 2022 and as such, there is almost certainly no information coming about it at E3 this year. I speculated if we might get a tease around E3 time, but Bungie pointed me to a recent TWAB where they said theyd have more to share about The Witch Queen later in the summer, so I assume that may be late July/August. Later release date, later reveal. And with the way Destiny 2 is currently structured these days, you cant exactly start teasing next season now, when the current season is still going on, and story developments still to come may affect what happens next. If the timing lined up where this was the end of an old season, they may have done that, but were just a month or so into Season of the Splicer, and I do not expect any teases for next season at this point. Old Chicago Bungie  And if you think they may be saving something for GCX instead of E3, Ive been told that while Bungie is participating, there will not be significant Destiny reveals there this year either. Welllets see here. I dont think its unreasonable to potentially hear about Destiny 2 coming to PC Game Pass during the Xbox show. And I suppose they could pre-announce something like The Witch Queen will be on Game Pass like Beyond Light was, even though its a bit early for that. It also may not be out of the realm of possibility that Bungie starts teasing one of their new, upcoming, non-Destiny IPs. We know they are working on several, the most prominent of which is the codename Matter one. Lately weve heard about a few different games but with common themes that imply some sort of multiplayer, PvP, hero shooter-type thing. But we dont know how many projects theyre incubating, and which is the one in the lead as the new IP thats supposed to come out by 2024. It does seem like it still might be too early to tease those, but we could see something as simple as a Starfield-style title card. And I dont think we can rule out some sort of partnership with Microsoft for a future game, potentially, given recent events. But in the end, no, I do not expect any relevant information about Destiny 2s future during E3 season here. Maybe some stuff on Game Pass, maybe, maybe a tease of a new IP, but even that seems unlikely. In the next two days, we should know more, as if they dont show up in the Microsoft show, Im not sure where else theyd be. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
