Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — TechPowerUp
It ranks mainly on source trust: TechPowerUp is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it and the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.

Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
Bungie has teased a project called "Destiny Legacy" in a Steam community update, suggesting the studio plans to make the original Destiny available across modern platforms. The announcement comes after Marathon's launch diverted resources from Destiny 2 development. General manager Josh Deane stated the company is "not done with Destiny" and emphasized that "the whole experience needs to be served to you all."
The studio framed the initiative as part of efforts to "return Destiny to its original promise," referencing commitments made in a previous update. Bungie indicated that more details will arrive in early next year, with a progress bar expected in February tracking the rollout of information.
The move follows Marathon's disappointing reception and the resulting impact on Destiny 2 support. Bungie's messaging suggests the company is attempting to address player concerns about the franchise's direction by revisiting the foundational game that launched the series over a decade ago.
What happened
Following the disappointing launch of Marathon, which apparently came at the cost of development support for Destiny 2 and much of the team behind it, Bungie has officially dropped a hint of its next move in its plan to "return Destiny to its original promise," as promised in a prior studio update. In a recent Steam community update, Bungie's Josh Deane, the new general manager of Marathon, reiterates that Bungie is "not done with Destiny," going on to tease "Destiny Legacy," and stating that "the whole experience needs to be served to you all," which sounds an awful lot like a relaunch of the original Destiny, just judging by the description.
