News that Sony plans to acquire Destiny 2 maker Bungie added another tectonic shift to the games industry, and like Microsoft's acquisition of Activision before it, the deal immediately raised one enormous question: Will Destiny 2 now be a PlayStation exclusive? With a massive player base spread across various platforms--all of whom can now team up and compete together, thanks to cross play--the idea that a specific console-maker will control Destiny 2 is a potentially worrying one to fans of the franchise.

The good news is that there's a definitive answer: No, Destiny 2 is not about to become a PlayStation exclusive. In fact, according to Bungie, none of the games it currently has in development will be PlayStation exclusives.

Immediately after news of the acquisition dropped, Bungie released an FAQ on its website clearing up some of those questions. It says definitively that no major changes are coming to Destiny in terms of console exclusivity or how you'll play the game with the launch of The Witch Queen expansion on February 22. In fact, Bungie says nothing about its plans for Destiny 2 will change through its final three expansion of the current story arc, which it calls «The Dark Saga.» Bungie has announced two more expansions, Lightfall and The Final Shape, tentatively set for release in 2023 and 2024, respectively. So don't expect anything to change about Destiny 2 for at least a couple of years.

Bungie is also developing new games and new intellectual property, but also said definitively that none of the games it currently has in development (about which we know very little) will be PlayStation exclusives, either. «We want the worlds we are creating to extend to anywhere people play games,» Bungie wrote in the
