To the Destiny and Bungie team,
Thank you for years of unforgettable memories. The Arabic Destiny community has shared some of its greatest gaming moments through Destiny. From our first raids to the toughest challenges and most rewarding achievements, Destiny became more than just a game—it became a community, a passion, and a place where lifelong memories were made.
We will miss every challenge, every reward, every raid race, and every unforgettable moment we experienced in this incredible universe. Thank you for everything you have given us over the years. ❤️
إلى فريق Destiny و Bungie،
شكراً على سنوات من الذكريات التي لا تُنسى. مجتمع Destiny العربي عاش مع هذه اللعبة أجمل اللحظات، من أول Raid إلى أصعب التحديات وأندر الجوائز. لم تكن Destiny مجرد لعبة بالنسبة لنا، بل كانت مجتمعاً جمعنا على شغف واحد وصنع لنا ذكريات ستبقى معنا للأبد.
سنشتاق لكل تحدٍ، ولكل إنجاز، ولكل سباق Raid، ولكل لحظة عشناها داخل هذا العالم الرائع. شكراً لكم على كل ما قدمتموه لنا طوال هذه السنوات. ❤️

Beware of under-delivery
When you stretch out storylines, drip-feed content, and ask players to pay more while receiving less, you’re sending a clear message: the players come second.
Success isn’t built by maximizing revenue at the expense of your community. It’s built on trust.
The fans who supported your game from the beginning are the reason your franchise exists. Destiny included.
Under-delivering erodes that trust. Brand loyalty takes years to earn and only moments to lose.
Treat your most loyal players well. Surprise them. Reward them. Give them moments like Monument of Triumph that remind them why they fell in love with the game in the first place.
Not everything should be locked behind a paywall. Somewhere along the way, Bungie lost sight of that.
Your developers are not disposable.
Building a world-class team takes years of investment, trust, and experience. Bungie’s developers, artists, writers, and community managers helped create one of gaming’s most beloved franchises.
If accountability is needed, it should start with leadership… not the people doing the work.
Great games aren’t built by constantly tearing down the foundation. They’re built by empowering talented teams, giving them the resources to succeed, and letting them create something special.
When you invest in your people, that’s where the magic happens.
I hope Bungie finds its way.
I want to see the entire team succeed and continue building Destiny for many years to come.
But that will require meaningful changes at the top. The studio needs new leadership and a renewed vision.
The entire leadership team needs to go starting with the studio heads.
Too many mistakes have been made, and the damage to both Destiny and Bungie’s reputation cannot be erased.
The developers, artists, writers, and community teams have shown time and again what they’re talented and capable when given the support and resources to succeed. To build a better Destiny.
Sony leadership needs to recognize that investing in great games isn’t an expense, it’s the foundation of long-term success.
Strong franchises generate value for players, developers, shareholders, and the company itself.
Destiny remains one of the most recognizable live-service franchises in gaming. With the right leadership, the right investment, and a commitment to Destiny, it can continue to thrive for years to come.
The players deserve it. The developers deserve it. And ultimately, it’s in everyone’s best interest for Bungie and Destiny to succeed.
Per Audacia Ad Astra.
Thank you to everyone signing in to join us for Monument of Triumph.
We've seen quite a few fireteams reuniting, groups memorizing Pantheon patterns to prep for Saturday's gauntlet, and many asking for clues about [REDACTED].
Those nailbiter SRL finishes? And the drip with all this new armor?
What a wild day so far.
Keep it up.
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

...and we're still hunting down stragglers.
This is a big patch. Our teams have worked tirelessly to hit the highest priority/impacting bugs before launch, but there may be a few rough edges.
We hope you find Monument of Triumph to be packed to the brim with fun. If you encounter any issues on launch day or beyond, never hesitate to send us the info.
