Bungie has confirmed that your character progress in Destiny will carry over to the inevitable sequel.

Speaking to IGN in an interview, Bungie’s David “DeeJ” Dague confirmed that the developer intends for everyone’s Guardians to carry over to the next Destiny game.

“The idea is that the Guardian you have created is something you can bring along with you on that adventure. If you take a look at the way people have played other games for a long period of time, they’ve had a relationship with the same character for a very long time.”

Bungie later reaffirmed DeeJ’s comments, saying that progress will 100% carry over.

DeeJ also teased forthcoming additions to the game and the franchise, “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.”

Destiny’s first content drop, The Dark Below expansion, is out this week.
