Is This Farewell?

This goes hand-in-hand with the FOMO structure, seasonal failures, and disappointing loot systems in Destiny 2. Sunsetting was the act of assigning an expiration date to gear and weapons that players had worked for. By giving existing gear a time limit, it invalidated the time players spent working on those exotic items. This was, in many ways, an issue of Bungie’s own making. Many other live-service titles have gear that becomes obsolete or ineffective beyond their initial introduction. Games like Final Fantasy 14 and World of Warcraft allow incrementally more powerful gear to show up as the

All The Mistakes That Paved The Way To Destiny 2's Demise
Where Do We Go From Here?

Moving over to Marathon is the main priority. Potential for new projects in the pipeline. Bungie has made it very clear that their work on Destiny 2 is stopping, aside from one final update to send the game off into the eternal sunset. However, it was only in 2022 that Sony acquired the developer for a small sum of a few billion dollars, and they clearly still want to hold onto at least some part of the team.

Destiny 2's Death Is The End Of An Era For Live-Service Games
What's Next for Destiny 2, If Anything At All?

The big question on everybody’s mind is what might be next for Destiny. But honestly, I don’t know if Destiny has much of a future at Bungie. Obviously, you could start work on Destiny 3, but a third game in a long-standing franchise would have an uphill battle in order to find an audience big enough to sustain it in the same way that Destiny and Destiny 2 did. Anyone who maybe was put off by Destiny 2 either at the beginning or over time would be less likely to invest in a Destiny 3 for any reason but sheer curiosity. And those who had no interest in Destiny or feel overwhelmed about getting
