I think what scares me more than the current Destiny 2 ending news is the possibility that Destiny gets shelved indefinitely like Bloodborne. With reports of more Bungie layoffs and no apparent plans for a D3, it honestly seems possible.
Before Destiny became my main game, I played a shit ton of Bloodborne. I helped countless Hunters venture through Yharnam and the Chalice Dungeons on their journey to platinum the game. It was honestly a home for me, albeit a dark and creepy one lol.
For nearly a decade, the Soulsborne community has begged Sony for literally anything: a sequel, remaster, PC port, even just a 60fps patch, and has received almost nothing but radio silence. Sony fully knows a Bloodborne sequel/update would be a generational success, yet it’s still shelved indefinitely. Which honestly makes me think a D3 could easily suffer the same fate despite how insanely successful it would be.
Now every Game Awards or Sony State of Play turns into people blasting “Bloodbornium” memes while everyone copes and prays for an announcement they already know probably isn’t coming.
I really hope Sony eventually turns things around and greenlights a D3, because I honestly don’t want Destiny to become another legendary franchise left on ice years from now.
@A_dmg04@Skarrow9@shezabubadino We’re lucky to have each other—a CM that actively listens and represents the community’s voice at Bungie. Thank you dmg. It truly can’t be said enough.
To the Destiny 2 community,
Thank you.
As artists, our goal has always been to create worlds filled with wonder, mystery, beauty, and adventure. But what brings those worlds to life is you. You take our designs, our napkin sketches, our "wouldn't it be cool if..." ideas and transform them into something real. Your creativity, your passion, and your love for the game give our work purpose.
We've always believed Destiny could be a place where expression is celebrated, where players can see themselves and each other in the worlds we build, where every Guardian can forge their own legend—and you proved it.
Watching your Guardians grow, embrace new allies, take down bigger and badder bosses, solve mind-bending puzzles, dodge death traps, avoid Taken boopers, and overcome every Raid challenge we throw at you—all while looking incredible—has been a constant reminder of why this universe matters.
You shaped it. You made it matter. You are the light of Destiny.
With Monument of Triumph, we set out to create a series of love letters to Guardians, new and old. We shared a preview last week of armor inspired by early designs from the original Destiny but have also sprinkled some winks and nods throughout the rewards releasing tomorrow. We hope they feel like a small thank you for everything you’ve given us.
From all of us on the Destiny 2 art team, thank you for supporting us, inspiring us, and continuing to bring this world to life in ways we could never have imagined. You give our art meaning.
With gratitude,
The Destiny 2 Art Team
