'Destiny 2' release date, latest rumors: Bioware's Cameron Lee to join Bungie as executive producer of 'Destiny' sequel?
Bioware lead producer Cameron Lee, known for his previous work in "Dragon Age: Inquisition," has announced on Twitter that he will be transferring to "Destiny" game developer Bungie to work on a new project.
As reported by Game Rant, Lee will be working on the new project as its executive producer. The project is likely to be the much-anticipated sequel to Bungie's "Destiny." However, it is also possible that the project is an entirely new venture that Bungie would be exploring.
Bungie has worked only on the "Destiny" and "Halo" franchises for the past 15 years, so even if Lee won't be working on "Destiny 2," it is also likely that he will still be working on a project that is related to the "Destiny" franchise. According to Gaming Bolt, it is possible that he will be handling a post-DLC content or a new expansion to the existing "Destiny" game.
In the same Game Rant report, it was mentioned that Lee's project could also be a side story in the "Destiny" universe. The game could be set in the Last City, or it could be a prequel that focuses on a different Guardian. Lee could also be working on a "Destiny" spinoff, which will allow gamers to explore the "Destiny" realm with a different gameplay style.
With previous rumors that a "Destiny" game will be coming to the Nintendo Switch, it is also possible that Lee will be taking control of the development of that project.
The "Destiny" game franchise has been a crowning glory for Bungie, earning the studio $500 million on the first day of its shipment. It has also continued to bring in millions of dollars because of the expansions and microtransactions, among many others.
Although Bungie has been very quiet about the development of a "Destiny" sequel, it has been confirmed that "Destiny 2" will be released sometime in 2017.
