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.
Weโre 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.
Tolerating always turns to resentment. At first, you call it patience, then love. But what it really is, is self-abandonment. Every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern, or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. And eventually, the bill comes due.
Regret is a cruel storyteller. It rewrites the past with the wisdom of the present, convinces you that you should have known better when you had no way of knowing at all.
Sometimes the outrage over men simply asking for basic empathy reminds me of a behavioral experiment.
โImagine two gorillas in adjacent enclosures.
The female gets a banana every single hour, just for existing. (This represents society's default empathy, the endless safety nets, and the unconditional emotional support handed to women).
The male gets a banana every four hours, and only if he performs a trick, protects the cage, or builds something useful. (Because society only loves men conditionally, based entirely on what they can provide).
โThen, someone decides to be a little 'fairer.'
They decide to give the male a banana every two hours. Society starts talking about male suicide rates. They start advocating for men's mental health. They ask for 50/50 custody fairness in family court.
โThe female gorilla? She completely flips out.
She protests. She calls it a 'backlash.' she writes think-pieces about how focusing on the male is dangerous.
She is still getting her banana every single hour. Her inherent value and societal protection haven't shrunk at all. But because her relative advantage in the empathy market shrank, it feels like a loss.
โ
That is exactly how society reacts to men struggling.
When a man asks for the exact same grace, understanding, and mental health support that women receive by default, it isn't viewed as justice. It is viewed as Theft of the Spotlight. They have hoarded the world's empathy for so long that a man simply asking to be treated like a human being instead of a utility is perceived as an act of oppression."
Thinking about how Julius Caesar said itโs easier to find men willing to die than it is to find men who are willing to endure pain with patience
