Destiny 2: The Final Shape is only a couple of months away, and, as part of the run-up to its release, the developers are releasing further details and reassuring players that the game isn’t going anywhere.
In their recent live stream, Destiny 2 Executive Creative Director Luke Smith confirmed that the game is not ending with The Final Shape.
“The Final Shape is the culmination of a ten year journey… It’s a journey that will end inside the traveller with you facing The Witness. But facing The Witness is not the end of Destiny 2 and it’s definitely not the end of Destiny,” Smith said.
“After you face The Witness we’re going to tell you what’s coming next to Destiny 2… and beyond.”

The news will undoubtedly come as a relief to the game’s community, many of whom have been playing since the first game launched in 2014.
What exactly the game will look like after The Final Shape is unclear, but it does seem likely that a direct sequel is now off the table.
Bungie will also have to deal with the inevitable feeling of a conclusion that the expansion will provide and give players an incentive to get involved in a new future beyond the bounds that the game has laid out for so long.
