The actual restoration of vaulting Destiny 2 content is still a long way off, but Bungie has big plans for the future.

Bungie shocked the world (or at least, it shocked the world's Destiny fans) when it un-canceled Destiny 2 in September, saying the game "is foundational to Bungie’s futuure" and promising to restore vaulted content and "return Destiny to its original promise." In a community update shared today, the studio revealed more about that process, and one standout point is that it sure sounds like the original Destiny is finally coming to PC.
The update begins with a broad overview of what led up to the unvaulting announcement and what's happened since, a broad roadmap that breaks down into three sections—First Pass, Stretch Goals, and stuff that's probably not going to happen "for technical and/or strategic reasons"—and a progress bar:
It's worth noting up front that while things have been happening fairly quickly so far, the actual Great Unvaultening is still a long way off. The pre-production process is now underway and expected to run until January or February of 2027, and "from that point we expect full production will be about 12 months to fully complete the porting process," Bungie head of product Josh Deane said. "It’s a lot of content."
Deane then touched on what comes after that, referencing his comment in September that Bungie is "not done with Destiny." With caveats that "some things are subject to change in success or failure," he said that Bungie is "marching forward with a phased plan for Destiny’s future that celebrates our legacy and propels us into a new, far green country." To that end, he cited three "anchors" for players to watch for:
Destiny 2 “Celebration’’ [Expect a new February Progress bar]
Destiny ‘Legacy’ [Expect a new February Progress bar]

The second point is the one that caught our interest. Destiny 2 was (and, some PC Gamer folks would argue, still is) huge on PC, but the original game never came our way: More than a decade after it launched, it remains exclusive to consoles.
