Which company published Destiny 2 at its 2017 launch? The answer is Activision.

Activision published Destiny 2 when Bungie’s sequel launched in 2017. The game released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 6, 2017, followed by the Windows version on October 24. Bungie developed the game, while Activision handled publishing during the partnership between the two companies.

Destiny 2 continued the shared-world first-person-shooter formula of the original Destiny. Its launch campaign follows the Cabal assault on the Tower, which strips Guardians of their Light and forces them to rebuild their strength. The game expanded the series with more explorable destinations, public events, strikes, raids, and a redesigned social and progression structure.

A later change causes frequent confusion: Bungie and Activision separated in 2019, and Bungie acquired the publishing rights to Destiny 2. That does not alter the answer for the game’s 2017 launch. Sony Interactive Entertainment was associated with PlayStation distribution and timed content, but Activision was the listed publisher; Ubisoft and Electronic Arts were not the publisher.
