Destiny 2 unvaulting update: It sure sounds like the original Destiny is finally coming to PC

The actual restoration of vaulting Destiny 2 content is still a long way off, but Bungie has big plans for the future.

Destiny 2 unvaulting update: It sure sounds like the original Destiny is finally coming to PC

Bungie stunned Destiny fans when it unvaulted Destiny 2 in September, promising to restore vaulted content and return the original game to its original promise. In a recent community update, the studio revealed more about the process and indicated that the original Destiny might finally be coming to PC. The update outlined three stages for the unvaulting - First Pass, Stretch Goals, and things that probably won't happen due to technical or strategic reasons - along with a progress bar indicating that the Great Unvaultening is still a ways off.

The pre-production phase began in early 2027 and is expected to run until January or February of 2028, with full production taking about 12 months to complete the porting process. Bungie head of product Josh Deane noted that while there are caveats, Bungie is marching forward with a phased plan for Destiny's future, celebrating its legacy and propelling the franchise into a new direction.

The announcement of Destiny 2's Final Shape expansion in 2024 marked the end of the 10-year Light and Darkness saga, but many players never experienced its start. The studio's statement strongly hints that the original Destiny is set to be available on PC, which would be a significant change for a game that has remained exclusive to consoles for more than a decade.
