Destiny 2 Coming to Battle.net

Blizzard

We want to let everyone know that a new game will be appearing alongside your favorite Blizzard games—one that’s a little different from what you might normally expect. Bungie’s upcoming first-person action game Destiny 2 will be joining the party! We’re excited to announce that we're partnering with Bungie and Activision to support the PC version of Destiny 2 exclusively via Battle.net.

We’re big fans of Destiny here at Blizzard, and we’re honored to be able to help the talented folks at Bungie and Activision bring their much-anticipated sequel to a new platform. Being on Battle.net will allow Destiny 2 to plug in to our existing global network, freeing up the developers at Bungie to focus their energy and resources on making the best and most fun game they possibly can. This also means Destiny 2 players will have access to our online social functionality, including chat with friends, the ability to see which of their friends are online in Destiny 2 or in Blizzard games, and the ability to stream gameplay directly to Facebook.

See the FAQ below for further platform details, and stay tuned for updates as we get closer to welcoming Destiny 2 and its players to Battle.net. To learn more about Destiny 2, head over to www.destinythegame.com.

Why are you adding a non-Blizzard game to Blizzard's platform?

We loved Destiny and think Destiny 2 is going to be a great game. Blizzard has an established and successful global internet infrastructure we’ve used for years to support our own games. Creating a new network client for Destiny 2, which is bringing the franchise to PC for the first time, would needlessly extend the development period for the game. We want to get our hands on Destiny 2 as soon as possible like everybody else, so we offered to share our PC platform with our sister companies for this release.

Does this mean other games are going to come to the Blizzard platform too?

Our focus in terms of supporting non-Blizzard games is solely around Destiny 2. Aside from potentially evaluating needs or opportunities for future Activision games, we don’t have any short- or long-term plans to support third-party games with Battle.net. It’s important to us to maintain our quality standards for any experience or service we’re putting in front of our players, which represents a big investment of time and effort on our part, so this is not something we’re jumping into lightly.

Does this mean I'll be able to use my Blizzard Balance to purchase Destiny 2?

Yes!

Will Destiny 2 offer the same cross-game social features that Blizzard titles currently have?

Destiny 2 will be integrated into many of Blizzard’s existing social features—you’ll be able to chat with friends playing Destiny 2 the same way you already can for Blizzard games. Players will also be able to add friends and form parties the same way Blizzard gamers can. And, you’ll see a Destiny 2 status icon by your friends who are playing Destiny 2 the same way you do for friends playing StarCraft II, Diablo III, WoW, Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone, and Overwatch.

Where and when will Destiny 2 on PC be available?

We’re excited to work with Bungie to bring the PC version of Destiny 2 to every region Blizzard currently operates in. Bungie is actively working through the global details. We look forward to sharing additional information later this year.

Who will be operating Destiny 2’s servers?

Bungie will maintain Destiny 2’s servers; Blizzard’s servers will be used for features related to the Blizzard platform, such as login and social functionality.

And what about customer service?

Destiny 2’s gameplay customer service will be handled by Bungie; Blizzard will handle customer service for platform and shop issues specific to our service.

Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all information, including forward-looking information, is current as of May 18, 2017 only. Blizzard and Activision Blizzard undertake no duty to update or revise any forward-looking information contained herein. For more detailed information, please refer to Activision Blizzard’s reports and filings with the SEC.

Commentaire de Allesa brb buying wow tokens Commentaire de Purgatorywolf Well, that should be interesting... I still want Warcraft 1 and 2. Commentaire de Alcest Oh so I not only finally get to play Destiny (since it'll be on PC) but now you're telling me it's free because of BNet Balance?

Well this is wonderful news. Commentaire de WALKERDE13 Consider me intrigued...... Commentaire de Mettah Well, that should be interesting... I still want Warcraft 1 and 2.Commentaire de Engerz Hmm makes sense because of the whole Activision family. Still one would wonder if the CoD and other Activision games would follow suit as well. I personally don't have a problem with Steam but competition for digital distribution shouldn't be daunting, especially for a big company like Activision.

Anyway I'm intrigued by this game. Will most likely yank me from those "dry" WoW times. Commentaire de Samuoh94 Will it be on mac too or only windows? Commentaire de percel What is battle.net? I was thinking they changed app name to Blizzard :thinking: Commentaire de uparrow Will it be on mac too or only windows?Commentaire de jaq1010 There goes me playing Destiny 2 on the PS4 and going to the PC port then. Commentaire de shadosan Welp, already struggling to buy more wow tokens. None available. Commentaire de josephcun2520 Will it be on mac too or only windows?Commentaire de Artio What is battle.net? I was thinking they changed app name to Blizzard :thinking:Commentaire de lankybrit Will it be on mac too or only windows?Commentaire de Wayren Uh. K. Commentaire de arthasbg There go the wow token prices again... Commentaire de BathroomBuddha I was really surprised to hear about this because Destiny isn't really part of the Blizzard "universe" (even though Destiny is part of Bungie and Bungie is part of Blizzard, apparently {just found that out})

I look forward to seeing how the game plays out, however, and am eager to see if there are any references to Destiny 2 that will be added to the other Blizzard games.

(Like the merchant in Dalaran from WoW that sells certain types of merchandise; I heard he was a reference to a particular vendor from the first Destiny game?)

So, all in all, I'm surprised and interested in how all of this will play out! Commentaire de tyr2009 PC Master Race wins again!

Now they need to discuss xbox to pc crossplatform play. I'd love to play it on my computer while my kid plays on the xbox. Commentaire de kodora1316 Well that explains the sudden jump in token prices & unavailability. Commentaire de trest I’ll echo the question of whether there will be a Mac release.

It’s certainly conceivable given that Bungie started on Mac back in the 1990’s (Marathon!) and, except for Overwatch (I’m still salty on that one 😡), Blizzard has almost always released for both Macs and Windows.

Trying to play games on a Mac. lol
