"Destiny" has become a major success for Bungie, the same studio behind the original "Halo" series. But rumors have started surfacing about its upcoming sequel, "Destiny 2." The game is currently speculated to launch in September 2017, and it may be seen a fresh start instead of a direct continuation of the first game.

According to Kotaku, there have been multiple sources stating that the sequel will be getting a PC port. One source comes from NeoGAF, claiming that someone in Activision, the publisher of the game, had spilled the news; another is from an unnamed source within Bungie.

The report continues to explain that this would benefit Bungie as it expands their target audience significantly. While many gamers play on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, there is a significant amount of first-person shooter players on the PC platform.

Porting over to the PC is not the only difference that the sequel will have with the original as it is also slated to be a fresh new start and not a direct continuation of the first title.

"'Destiny 2' is a completely different game," explained Kotaku's unnamed source. "'The Taken King' was a reboot for 'Destiny 1' to fix small things. This is the overhaul to fix big things," the source went on to say.

This also allegedly indicates that players will not be able to port their characters over from the first game to the second. It was previously believed that Bungie had a 10-year plan for the franchise, which would allow gamers to keep their character from one game to the next, a point emphasized by Forbes.

Forbes did point out that starting fresh would benefit the developers as more elements being carried over would limit what Bungie could do for "Destiny 2." However, the developers may still have some form of reward for players who have logged in hundreds of hours into the first game.

"Destiny 2" is expected to launch in 2017.
