The "Server Offline" text for the final Destiny 2 update:
"We built a universe. Guardians like you filled it with meaning. Thank you from all of us on Destiny 2."
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
Forgive my tears…this one was tough. Thank you to every Warlock + Guardian who kept this legendary game alive for these past wonderful years. It has been an honor and privilege to have taken this journey with you. See you starside… 💙

With the announcement that Destiny 2's development is ceasing I think it's important to reiterate that the original Destiny is still very much at risk at being lost forever much like Destiny 2's base game and early expansions.
I can only hope Destiny receives an offline update of some form officially so the game can be preserved forever without dedicated fans having to reverse-engineer the servers themselves (which is still very work-in-progress IIRC).
The first Destiny is the only Destiny game that is a complete experience form start to finish with proper progression, no removed content and a coherent art direction, it needs to be preserved.

We're devastated to learn about the sudden passing of our friend, the legendary Tom Kane.
As the original voice of Takeo Masaki and countless other beloved roles over the years, Tom's iconic talent and unwavering kindness will last with us all our lives.
Our thoughts go out to his loved ones, and he will always be in our hearts.
Tom Kane has sadly passed away at the age of 64.
He was the iconic narrator of ‘The Clone Wars’ series as well as the voice of Yoda & Admiral Yularen. He also voiced Professor Utonium in ‘The Powerpuff Girls’.
