Bungie's broken its silence on what's in store for Destiny - namely the shooter's final live event and, of course, Destiny 2, which is due out later this year. Let's get the former out of the way first: 'Age of Triumph' will be Destiny's last hurrah, an event that the developer will be explaining in further detail through a series of upcoming livestreams.

"We intend for it to be a fun and memorable celebration that will bring the first major chapter of our Destiny adventures to a fitting close," Bungie writes, adding: "We'll look back upon the three incredible years we've shared as a community, and look ahead to some final challenges and rewards that await you in the weeks ahead." We'll be getting our first proper look at Age of Triumph on the 8th March.

Moving on, the studio has confirmed that your progress in Destiny won't carry over to Destiny 2. However, your actual characters will - and by characters we mean their appearance. "The class, race, gender, face, hair, and marking selections for all characters that have achieved Level 20 and completed the Black Garden story mission will carry forward. We also plan to award those veteran accounts with honors that reflect your Destiny 1 accomplishments," Bungie clarifies. That means Destiny 2 will at least have a similar class system, right?

"We believe this is the best path forward. It allows us to introduce the major advancements and improvements that all of us expect from a sequel, ensuring it will be the best game we can create, unencumbered by the past. We're looking forward to sharing more details with you later this year for how we will honor your legacy in the future," the developer concludes.

What do you make of all this? Does the future of Destiny look bright? Anticipate E3 in the comments section below.
