Writing a video. It'll probably be out by Saturday, but suffice to say I've been thinking a lot about this quote from Toland, The Shattered for no particular reason...
Squanderers...
I have seen the cutscene in question. No spoilers in this thread.
I am utterly livid.
The devs who worked so hard on Destiny for years, who knew where things were going and the potential that was ahead.
They all deserved so much better.
Destiny got me through loosing my girlfriend
Destiny got me through loosing my best friend
Destiny got me through the deaths of many friends
Destiny got me through countless broken bones
Destiny helped me cope with trauma
When I grieve Destiny, I grieve a part of myself

I've always wanted more Black Armory inspired things in #Destiny2 .. So back around 2022 I had these designs drawn because the idea just wouldn't go away. I tried my best to be as faithful to the designs as possible.. So I hope you all like them. 👉 👈 #destiny2art
Prep is done. All that’s left is to launch this sucker… and play.
Thank you all for the kind words over the last few weeks. Hope that MoT serves you well.
Watch our official channels for support comms and updates through the day.
Sleep well. Dream big. Play hard.
Much love. 💛
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
I ACTUALLY got emotional about this the other day and looked at my wife tearing up and just said "There's so many ghosts that will never find their guardian now..."
