>8 days later, Xbox is reportedly planning on shutting the studio down
How does this even happen??
There’s a couple little things from the internal Cinematics and Narrative Performance teams waiting for you. We hope you love them as much as we loved creating them.
An Open Letter to the Destiny 2 Development Team
To the Destiny Dev Team,
Today was a bittersweet day for so many reasons and in so many ways.
Destiny has been our home for the last twelve years. From our first encounter with Atheon in the Vault of Glass, to climbing Felwinter Peak in Rise of Iron, through our battles against Oryx and our adventures deep within the underbelly of Calus’ Leviathan, Destiny has been there through every chapter.
There are so many moments that made our lives better because of this game.
The raids. The destinations. The stories. The weapons. The first Gjallarhorn.
The friendships.
I could go on forever.
Destiny will always hold a special place in my heart. It was a huge part of my adult life and offered me an escape during difficult times.
It gave me a place to spend time with friends, even when distance separated us. No matter what was happening in life, there was always Destiny.
It wasn’t just a game to me, and it wasn’t just a game to millions of others.
It was a gathering place.
A place where friendships were forged.
A place where memories were made.
A place where we could live out our space-fantasy dreams.
It was my happy place. Home.
After The Final Shape, I stepped away. My dog became terminally ill, and my priorities shifted.
But even during that time, my love for Destiny never faded. I always knew that someday I would return.
Today was that day.
Returning felt familiar, comforting, and bittersweet all at once. It reminded me why I fell in love with this universe in the first place. But it was also sad because I realized that, in many ways, this marks the end of an incredible journey and the uncertainty of something that could have been.
I want to thank every developer who helped build this world. Every voice actor. Every community manager.
The love, passion, and care you poured into Destiny have always been visible, but nowhere was it more apparent than in Monument of Triumph.
From the Director to the Tower, from the overwhelming amount of additions to the return of SRL, from endgame activities to countless small details that longtime Guardians wanted for so long , you can feel the love for the journey we’ve all shared together.
Your hard work shines through.
For twelve years, you brought us worlds worth exploring, stories worth following, challenges worth overcoming, and memories worth holding onto.
You created something that became much bigger than a video game.
You created a home.
As Destiny enters its final chapter, I hope there continues to be a bright future ahead. For all of us!
This universe deserves to live on. For every Guardian who has called it home.
For every developer who helped bring it to life.
For every lore enthusiast who spent hours piecing together its mysteries.
For every fireteam that laughed, struggled, wiped, and ultimately succeeded together.
Thank you for the adventures.
Thank you for the memories.
And most of all, thank you for Destiny.
See you starside. ✨
#ThankYouForDestiny @Destiny2Team
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 support signing the Destiny 3 petition and having as many people logging in on June 9 as possible as ways of supporting the series and studio

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.
