You can't cancel something that doesn't exist: a reputable journalist dispelled rumours about Destiny 3's discontinued development

In April, a rumour appeared online that Bungie studio was working on Destiny 3 - a new shooter, which was codenamed Project Payback.

On the background of the news about the massive reduction and reformatting of Bungie studio, many gamers remembered this information and worried that due to the difficult situation Sony and Bungie cancelled the development of Payback.

However, the whole logical chain turned out to be wrong.

Here's What We Know

Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier clarified the situation.

As he learned, Bungie did work on Project Payback for some time, but this project has long been cancelled and it was not Destiny 3, but was more of an experiment.

Schreier is sure that Destiny 3 was never in development at any point in time, so it's impossible to cancel something that never existed.

In the near future Jason Schreier promises to publish a material about the state of affairs in Bungie.

At the moment, the American studio is busy developing Destiny franchise and completing the production of sci-fi shooter Marathon.
