Rumour: The mystery leaker who predicted Destiny 2's new Prismatic subclass a month ago also says Destiny 3 is in development

The surprising news that came out of Bungie yesterday is that The Final Shape, the decade-long saga's climactic expansion, is adding an entirely new subclass that will enable guardian's to mix and match powers from all of the existing subclasses. (My emphasis there is to reflect how excited this made our resident Guardian (aka PC Gamer brand director Tim Clark). 

However, once the shock had died down a little, things got weird. You see, it turns out that a month ago someone on Reddit not only predicted that we would be getting a new subclass—an unlikely but not unreasonable guess—but also pretty much the exact details of how Prismatic works, which nobody would reasonably have guessed at that time. 

Which of course now has the community very interested in what else the apparent leaker's account has had to say, the juiciest rumor being the claim that the studio is currently working on Destiny 3.

This very major change is apparently justified by a blip of Destiny lore revealing that Hunters learned the Blink teleportation skill from Warlocks (although they don't like to talk about it), a bit of narrative spice that could even be seen as a hint of what the future may hold for Destiny. There are also plenty of lore entries in which Guardians quickly combo between their Light powers, although mixing Light and Dark, as with Prismatic, is a new thing.

Obviously, we normally wouldn't pay Reddit rumors much heed, but in this case the specificity of the subclass info really is what has made eyebrows rise. The leak dropped a month ago, claiming that a new
