The first poster mentions an upcoming beta, while the second lists a Sept. 8 release date for Destiny 2. Sept. 8 could be a European release date for the game, since it’s a Friday, which is when games are traditionally released in Europe. While plans for Destiny 2 were hinted at in an Activision earnings call, Kotaku said Bungie potentially plans to officially announce the game Thursday.
Destiny, which was originally released in late 2014 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, was notable for being developer Bungie’s first major release after the Halo series. Destiny was followed by expansion packs Destiny: The Taken King, which was released in late 2015, and Destiny: Rise of Iron, which came out last fall.
