According to recent job listings, the developer is hinting at a possible new video game title that will be distinct from the original Destiny, but likely set in the same universe. It will most likely be esports ready, competitive video game title. Judging by the listing, this game could be something different and on the scale with some of the most competitive first-person shooters.
