Activision Blizzard's Eric Hirshberg has recently talked about Destiny 2 as part of the company's Q1 2017 Earnings Call (as transcribed by SeekingAlpha), and in the call he emphasises that content will be coming after the release of the game, as that's an important part of their plans, also mentioning that PC players have a bit to look forward to as well.
"Well, the community's reception to the reveal was obviously awesome," he said in response to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC's Brian Nowak. "And after four weeks, Destiny 2 pre-orders are tracking amongst the top in Activision Publishing's history. So the most important thing for this franchise beyond delivering a great game, which Destiny 2 is definitely going to do, as we talked about in the past, is getting the content pipeline right. Destiny's engagement has been the best in Activision's history. And we now have a lot of confidence that we're going to be able to keep up with demand with that steady stream of great content to sort of keep pace with our player's engagement post the release of Destiny 2."
"So as you know from our past comments on previous calls on - with Destiny 2's content, we're coupling Bungie's great visionary leadership with multiple AAA developers that have a proven track record here at Activision to help us make sure that we have just one great piece of new content after another to keep the community engaged. And that's the most important answer to the second part of your question. We've shown that when we have great engagement, great business follows. So with respect to PC, which you asked about, we're committed to delivering meaningful features that are bespoke for the PC community and I'm really excited about what we have to show for them. But I'm going to leave the details of those for our gameplay premiere event which is happening on May 18. And we'll have some additional, obviously, exciting announcements on the game overall at that time as well."
Do you have hope that Destiny 2 can deliver?
Thanks, Nirolak.
