Killing this series is such a self inflicted wound. The only bright side we have here is that Bungie is giving this game the blaze of glory it deserves. And the hope that the more we all keep pounding for a D3 it might stop falling on deaf ears

Mixed feelings here - Destiny has been far and away my favorite game of the last decade. But the last year has been really rough. This is sad to see the game end, but I do think it’s the right move and now we have to hope Bungie still has some magic for what’s next.

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.

Did you know?

Pokémon Green and LeafGreen are the only two main series titles to feature a member of the Bulbasaur family on their box art, and are thus objectively the best Pokémon games.

This dude is majorly responsible for the entire Modern FPS genre - basically everything post-2001 or so. Talk about a huge loss, and by all accounts a genuine good dude too. So sad - RIP

I cannot believe I am writing this.

Vince Zampella, a titan of the video game industry, the co-creator of Call of Duty and co-founder of Respawn Entertainment, not to mention a dear friend, died in a car crash yesterday in Los Angeles.

Cameron Heacock, the lead singer of American Head Charge, has resurfaced after a near decade of being off the grid. He is homeless, living on the streets of Los Angeles, and addicted to fentanyl.

Look, I’d have loved more concrete details on the new game too, but an update like this actually makes me feel better. They’re staying heads down on work.

Love or hate EA, this is a wild move. We had Sportswashing, we had Comedywashing and now we get VideoGameWashing

EA has announced it plans to be acquired for 55 billion dollars by a consortium of investors led by Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.

For what it’s worth, the opening triad to the song “Black Sabbath” by the band Black Sabbath on the record Black Sabbath is the heaviest metal that will ever be. It’s the purest distillation of the genre in that first 30 seconds.

[Dan Fasulo @DanFo07]

Seeing all the love for Ozzy today is a reminder that for all the stereotypes people like to foist onto Metal fans, we’re all big softies really.

[Dan Fasulo @DanFo07]

We’re seeing this more and more from the huge publishers, decisions coming from higher ups that run counter to the feelings from devs and fans. See also Bungie with Marathon.

Jason Schreier has released a scathing article regarding what went wrong during Dragon Age The Veilguard’s development:

Here are the highlights:

- BioWare was under immense pressure to succeed after the failure of Anthem and Andromeda with The Veilguard to stay afloat.

- Original concept (codename: Joplin) was a smaller, single-player experience.

- EA forced a pivot to a multiplayer live-service format (codename: Morrison) in 2017.

- Creative director Mike Laidlaw resigned over the shift.

- Matt Goldman replaced him and aimed for a lighter, “pulpy” tone fitting for online gameplay.

- Anthem’s failure in 2019 raised internal doubts about repeating mistakes.

- Pandemic disruptions and leadership resignations further complicated development.

- In 2020, the project was abruptly pivoted back to a single-player game, without proper pre-production.

- Team was given just 18 months to overhaul structure and rewrite the story.

- Tight timelines led to rushed decisions and a lack of meaningful choice in gameplay.

- Multiple delays didn’t allow redesigns “just extensions of flawed structures.”

- Feedback from alpha testing in 2022 pointed to a lack of impactful narrative decisions.

- Last-minute attempts to reintroduce meaningful choices were shallow and constrained.

- BioWare brought in a second team (from the Mass Effect project) in 2023 to help finish the game.

- Cultural clashes arose: Dragon Age team was laid-back; Mass Effect team was top-down and structured.

- Mass Effect leaders rewrote and added new scenes, including the game’s emotional finale.

- Dragon Age leads were frustrated, denied similar resources, and excluded from key meetings.

- Long-standing resentment emerged over EA favoring Mass Effect internally.

- Original multiplayer version’s snarky tone felt outdated.

- Concerns it would resemble Forspoken led to last-minute dialogue rewrites.

- Voice actor strike and overtime demands hindered these changes.

- Initial trailer looked like Fortnite, alienating the RPG fanbase.

- Marketing failed to properly convey the game’s actual tone and genre.

BioWare’s Future.
- BioWare contributes around 5% of EA’s annual revenue.
- EA primarily profits from sports and shooter games.

- Analysts say EA may continue supporting BioWare due to the potential payoff of hit RPGs.
- However, its long decline raises real questions about whether EA will ultimately shut it down.
- Analyst Doug Creutz: “If they shuttered the doors tomorrow I wouldn’t be totally surprised.”

Yeah seems like this game’s development was a disaster in every way and the blame lies at EA forcing the live service structure and then reverting it, wasting so much time and talent then not even letting them fully start over, what a mess.

Oblivion was the first “next gen” game I played way back in 2006, shortly after I got my 360. Changed how I saw western RPG’s, and genuinely changed my gaming perspectives. It’s easily my favorite ES game, and probably a top-5 in general.

Kinda glad I had restarted playing the Ezio Collection tbh. Ubisoft got some of their credit back with me today tbh
