For Destiny fans, the question of a sequel has lingered since the massive success of Destiny 2. Now, rumors swirling around the internet suggest Bungie might be gearing up for Destiny 3, codenamed “Payback.”
This codename has sparked theories among players. Some speculate it hints at a narrative shift, with the Guardians facing a crushing defeat at the hands of the Witness. Others believe it’s a more lighthearted reference, signifying Bungie’s desire to win back the community after any perceived shortcomings of Destiny 2.
One source claims the leak originated on Reddit, with the individual accurately predicting a future “prism” system in Destiny 2. This leak further suggests the codename isn’t story-related, but rather Bungie’s ambition to create a game that reignites player love for the franchise.
While intriguing, it’s important to remember this is purely speculation. Bungie hasn’t officially confirmed Destiny 3 or the “Payback” codename. Additionally, the fate of items carrying over from Destiny 2 remains unknown.
For now, Destiny fans should take this rumor with a grain of salt. However, considering Bungie’s past comments about potentially moving beyond Destiny 2, the possibility of a Destiny 3 under a unique codename is certainly exciting.
Here’s hoping that if Destiny 3 does exist, it delivers a phenomenal experience that lives up to the “payback” promise, whatever that may entail.
