Well, Since nobody else has posted it as of yet (I even waited over a week)
It is a tradition and these things need to be documented for posterity.
Destiny 2 has brought us a new box acronym to add to the historical acronym collection.

ICDSIFD

I was able to spy the acronym on product images of the Destiny 2 cases/boxes and it appears to be the same for PS4 and Xbox One, and the same across all the editions (regular, Limited, Collector's, etc.)?
I wonder if the physical PC release will have the same acronym or be different? We will have to wait and see!

Just a point of fact, those aren't acronyms. An acronym is something that can be pronounced as a word. FBI, CIA, PBS etc. for example are initialisms, not acronyms. SCUBA, FEMA and FOD are examples of actual acronyms.

The American Heritage dictionary conveys my opinion on this distinction.

Usage Note: In strict usage, the term acronym refers to a word made from the initial letters or parts of other words, such as sonar from so(und) na(vigation and) r(anging). The distinguishing feature of an acronym is that it is pronounced as if it were a single word, in the manner of NATO and NASA. Acronyms are often distinguished from initialisms like FBI and NIH, whose individual letters are pronounced as separate syllables. While observing this distinction has some virtue in precision, it may be lost on many people, for whom the term acronym refers to both kinds of abbreviations.

If Cayde Dies, Should I Fire Deej?
I can't dance so I flirt dangerously.
Inventory counts disclosed sufficient information for documentaries.
In cold dark skies, I fired discriminately.
In case Dave sharts, I found diapers.
I conquer devils, so I find devils.
Inconsiderate cats don't seem interested, forget dogs.
Invisibility could definitely sustain interest for days.
It came dirty, so it's free, dog!

I usually end up keeping my guesses to myself. This time however I feel like this guess might have some legs?
