Fans of Bungie have taken to the streets—well, the internet—to push for a new entry in the Destiny franchise now that Destiny 2 has stopped receiving fresh content. Last week, they launched a petition on Change.org that quickly crossed the 50,000‑signature mark.
As the days passed, the number of supporters surged, and today the petition boasts more than 180,000 players demanding that PlayStation give the green light to Destiny 3. The movement even outpaces the current Steam user base for Marathon, highlighting the sheer scale of the demand.
Players argue that Bungie should focus its resources on Destiny 3 instead of further investing in Marathon, a title that has struggled to find footing on both PS5 and PC. The lack of traction could pose significant challenges for the studio’s future.
Gamers are increasingly viewing Destiny 3 as the safer bet, given that the franchise remains healthy even as time passes. In stark contrast, the future of Marathon hangs in the balance, threatening to push Bungie toward a precarious position.
A petition on Change.org has been steadily gaining momentum, smashing records along the way. At the time of writing, it has amassed 183,943 signatures, and the number continues to climb every hour. This surge underscores the massive interest in Destiny’s future, yet no new entries in the series are currently in active development.
Ironically, the petition now boasts more signatures than the number of Marathon players on Steam. The extraction shooter peaked at 88,337 concurrent users during its launch, but today it registers only 5,879 active players—a troubling figure for a title of its caliber.
These statistics send a clear message to Bungie, but the situation is complicated by the studio’s Halo legacy. Recent financial reports from PlayStation revealed that the studio has incurred significant losses, leaving it walking a tightrope until Marathon can regain traction in some form.
Gamers rallying behind a Change.org petition have made their voices unmistakably loud, underscoring how deeply Destiny has shaped their lives. Most respondents agree that the game has served as a sanctuary where they forged new friendships and navigated tough moments through immersive play.
“I grew up playing Destiny. It was one of the first games that truly hooked me, and I can’t imagine a world where, after so many years, it finally disappears,” one of the many comments reads.
Others are even more fervent, obsessed with the franchise’s intricate worlds, characters, and lore. They argue that Bungie should not abandon this universe that commands millions of fans worldwide.
“Destiny is more than a game. Throughout its creation and history, it has been riddled with conflict and controversy, yet it has always maintained a passionate community. There remains the potential to build a vast universe where people can gather and create lasting memories,” another player wrote.
Everyone is anxious about Bungie’s future, convinced that the only way forward is to abandon Marathon and devote all resources to Destiny 3.
