With Destiny 2 already in development as part of Bungie and Activision’s 10-year plan for the series, Bungie confirmed to IGN that your Destiny progress will 100% carry over to the sequel.
This news came after IGN interviewed Bungie Community Manager David Dague, where he said, “It’s been no secret that we have a 10-year plan for the expansion and evolution of this franchise, and it’s something that we’re always dreaming about.”
Dague then added, “I’ve seen new concept art, I’ve seen new exotic weapons up on people’s screens… it’s a lot of fun to walk around the studio, because there’s always somebody thinking about the next place you’ll go, the next enemy you’ll fight, the next thing that you’ll earn for doing those things.”
Part of the reason Bungie is allowing you to transfer your characters over to the Destiny sequel is because people have “had a relationship with the same character for a very long time.”
Unfortunately, Dague wasn’t able to talk about the development status or a release window for Destiny 2.
