Incredibly proud of this team and all it has accomplished in the last year. Excited to see where this goes 😁

[AsteriaVR @AsteriaVRMMO]

Our first major player density/server test was a success! at one point, we had nearly 80 players standing in a small area and the performance was incredible, no major server issues. Huge shoutout to the folks at @spacetimedb for making this possible so early on in development!

Maaaan, we were really this close to some of the craziest storylines, huh? #WeWantDestiny3

🚨NEW CUTSCENE REVEALS WHERE DESTINY 2'S STORY WAS HEADED.

(MASSIVE STORY SPOILERS!!!)

[Willis @8BitWillis]

"May this time be a moment of reflection: remembering what came before, reassessing our present, and readying ourselves for the future."

It's been a pleasure, fellow Guardians. To the Future. Per audacia ad astra.

If that's the case, I understand the frustration for the lack of communication, but to blame a CM entirely is unreasonable. Even if they did know for months that Destiny 2 was getting axed, NDA's and uncertainty in the studio would prevent them from saying anything.

[Willis @8BitWillis]

So, it is my understanding that a community manager for a game studio is essentially a liason between the studio and the player base. The CM relays certain approved messaging from higher-ups to the community, then they collect player sentiment data to steer future development.

[Willis @8BitWillis]

As disappointed as I have been with Destiny these last few years (minus a few standout moments), this is heartbreaking to see. I hope this is a sign that Bungie is finally changing up the formula is a positive way rather than killing it off, but time will tell.

For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all. Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2.

As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio.

Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to.

We’re proud of Destiny 2, the places it took us, and the legacy it has created. Because of you all, our universe is vast, built on years of shared stories, adventures, and victories. From the Cosmodrome to the Pale Heart to the Lawless Frontier, we have forged life-long memories and friendships with you all.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made that journey with us.

From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you, and we'll see you in the stars.

Chatting with our community on Discord and other socials, it has come to our attention that the way we've discussed our pricing model in the past might be confusing. So, let's talk about it! (1/5)

Worried about the sustainability of Asteria's future? Fear not! Star, director of Team Asteria, has a breakdown of what development will look like going forward, and how we plan to combat the stigmas around VRMMO's:

@DeshHere @AsteriaVRMMO We're just a small team of enthusiasts who have been disappointed by similar projects in the past. We'll do everything in our power to make it happen 🙂

[Willis @8BitWillis]

@NevermorCeleste @AsteriaVRMMO @spacetimedb Funnily enough, there was a game of "Star Says" played shortly after this (Star being the head dev and owner of the studio), not sure if he got footage though 😂

[AsteriaVR @AsteriaVRMMO]

We've uploaded our most recent Q&A that we *partially* hosted inside of Asteria! Enjoy some of what Selara, the main city in the world of Asteria, has to offer while you learn more about what to expect!
