A petition calling for Destiny 3 is gaining significant online support. Reports say the petition has crossed 120,000 signatures after Bungie reportedly confirmed that it has no current plans for a sequel.

The growing support has become a major topic in the gaming community. Many fans believe the Destiny series still has a strong player base and enough story content for another main game.

Fans React After Bungie’s Destiny 3 Comments

The story began earlier this month, when Bungie announced that the June update for Destiny 2 is bringing an end to the journey. The studio has no further plans for the franchise. Thus, the player's expectation of getting a sequel got shattered. However, Destiny fans didn’t stay silent. They started an online petition for Destiny 3, and it crossed over 170,000 signatures. 

The petition’s creator, Harley Casto, revealed, “We believe in the potential of Destiny 3 to inspire new generations of gamers and to keep the fire of the Guardian spirit alive.” He further mentioned, “The desire for new adventures, fresh storylines, and innovative gameplay features is palpable among players everywhere.”

The petition grew quickly within a short time. What shocked the gaming world is that within days, the Destiny 3 petition signature count surpassed the concurrent player count of another Bungie shooter, Marathon, released this March. The peak player count of Marathon never reached beyond 150,000, and the petition touched the mark of 170,000 within days. 

Could Sony Step In if Demand Keeps Growing?

Some fans now believe Sony could eventually pay attention if support for Destiny 3 keeps rising. Sony bought Bungie in 2022, making the studio an important part of its gaming business.

At this point, there is no sign that Sony plans to interfere with Bungie’s decisions. Still, gaming companies often watch community reactions closely, especially when large franchises are involved. If the petition keeps growing, the demand may become harder to ignore over time.

Marathon’s Numbers Reflect a Bigger Live-Service Problem

The situation has also started a wider discussion about live-service games in 2026. Many new multiplayer titles struggle to keep players active for long periods. Older franchises with loyal communities often perform better because players already trust those worlds and characters.

For Bungie, the reaction around Destiny 3 may show that fans still care deeply about the series. Right now, many players seem more interested in Destiny’s future than trying another new live-service game.
