Destiny 3 Petition Tops 170,000 After Bungie Confirms Destiny 2 Wind-Down

A fan petition calling on Sony and Bungie to greenlight Destiny 3 has surged past 170,000 signatures over the weekend, rising sharply after Bungie outlined the end of active development for Destiny 2.

Bungie set out the plan on May 21, 2026, confirming that the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 will land on June 9. The studio framed it as a capstone to nine years of ongoing support. “On June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2,” the team wrote, while reiterating that the game will remain playable afterwards.

In the days since, a Change.org campaign urging a full sequel has gathered momentum, quickly clearing the 170K mark and continuing to climb. A recent report pegged the tally at more than 173,000 signatures as of May 25, reflecting a wave of sentiment from players who still want a mainline Destiny future beyond the current client.

What Bungie actually said

Bungie’s post does not announce Destiny 3. Instead, it confirms a final “Monument of Triumph” update on June 9, 2026, and says the studio is “begin[ning] that new journey as a studio” beyond Destiny 2. The company also notes Destiny 2 will stay online, similar to how the original Destiny remains playable. That’s a wind-down of live-service updates, not a full shutdown.

Practically, that means the petition is a statement of demand rather than a lever that guarantees a sequel. Neither Sony nor Bungie has committed to building Destiny 3, and there’s no official roadmap pointing to such a project. For now, the only concrete piece is Bungie’s own timeline for ending Destiny 2’s active development on June 9.

Even so, the groundswell is noteworthy. Destiny has been a near-decade fixture, and a petition rocketing past 170K signatures in a matter of days underscores how much appetite remains for a clean slate and a next-generation take on the series. Whether that translates into an actual greenlight is an entirely different question.

If Bungie or Sony addresses the petition directly or outlines what “beyond Destiny 2” looks like, we’ll update this story. Until then, the facts are simple: Destiny 2’s final live-service update arrives June 9, and a sizable slice of the community is asking loudly for what comes next.
