There's been speculation for a few months now regarding Destiny's future. There's little doubt that last year's expansion, The Taken King, gave the shooter the kick up the arse that it so desperately needed, but now that many players have exhausted the latest content, there's a lingering feeling that something's not quite right with Bungie's often referenced 'ten year plan'.

Near the end of last year, the developer spoke of plans to pepper Destiny's 2016 with smaller in-game events rather than pump out major expansions. At first, the proposal seemed reasonable enough, but now that we've sampled events such as the Sparrow Racing League, it's worrying to think the studio believes that such hollow content will be enough to satiate more hardcore Guardians.

However, putting a slightly different spin on this perspective is a report from Kotaku, which claims that something much bigger was initially planned for the sci-fi blast-'em-up's second year. Sources say that Destiny 2 was set to release this September, but just last week, those plans were put on hold. In other words, whatever Destiny 2 actually is, it's been delayed out of 2016, presumably in favour of something else.

If this rumour is indeed correct, then it begs the question: just what the heck is Bungie going to fill Destiny's second year with? As Kotaku's article alludes, it sometimes appears as though the developer itself isn't sure where its project is headed, and without any clear information on what they can expect, players are understandably becoming restless.

So, what do you make of all this? Are you worried about Destiny's future, or do you think that Bungie must have something up its sleeve? Pull out your heavy weapon in the comments section below.
