Hey @Sony@PlayStation, can you at least ‘acknowledge’ the Destiny movement over the last few weeks, even if it’s “we hear you,” “we don’t have plans just yet,” or better: “we’re already drafting the next steps in the Destiny universe?”
Something, anything would be welcomed.
yeah, it really does feel like the end for Destiny
even with all the fan petitions and the player rally on MoT launch day, i just don't see Sony pouring that many resources into Bungie anymore, especially after how Marathon performed
maybe, *maybe* if Marathon somehow manages to get a steady stream of new players who stick around over the next year, things could change
but I also don't see that happening, *not* because Marathon is a bad game. it's one of the best FPS games out right now imo with an amazing world/lore
Bungie had around 1600 staff at its peak pre-first layoff in 2023. the last reported number was around 850 employees in 2024. and now, with another "significant" round of layoffs reportedly coming soonish (which sucks), and more Destiny staff moving over to Marathon, it's just hard to see Destiny getting the level of support it would need for a mainline sequel
i truly hope I'm wrong and Sony does something with the Destiny IP in the near future bc it has so, so much potential and the demand is clearly there
it's been an honor covering Destiny all these years 🫡
This is what happens when you unleash the devs who actually care about the game & give the players what they want.
Congratulations to @Bungie for this launch & thank you for the last decade. #destiny2
Thank you to everyone signing in to join us for Monument of Triumph.
We've seen quite a few fireteams reuniting, groups memorizing Pantheon patterns to prep for Saturday's gauntlet, and many asking for clues about [REDACTED].
Those nailbiter SRL finishes? And the drip with all this new armor?
What a wild day so far.
Keep it up.

"We built a universe. Guardians like you filled it with meaning. Thank you from all of us on Destiny 2."
