Bad news for Destiny 2 fans. Bungie has announced that they will stop developing new content for their popular online shooter starting June 9. That will be the date when they release their last content patch, at which point the game’s servers will remain open, but there will be no new game content.
This latest update, in any case, will be packed with content. Defined by the developers as “a love letter to the players,” it will add a version of the Director of the Portal, in addition to bringing back an old favorite for the veterans: the races of the Sparrow Racing League from Destiny. All of this in an update that was originally scheduled for last March but was delayed for reasons that were not commented on at the time.
A Study in Trouble
Bungie is currently in a very delicate situation. Marathon, which was released on March 5, is performing below Sony’s expectations, who bought the studio in 2022 for 3.6 billion dollars. Since then, Bungie has not met the expectations of the Japanese corporation regarding account performance, announcing a depreciation of almost 750 million dollars in its value.
This leads to the conclusion that, according to journalist Jason Schreier in Bloomberg, Bungie is not working on any new projects. Although they have proposed making Destiny 3, among other games set in the Destiny universe, Sony has not given them the green light for any of these projects. At the same time, Schreier claims that a series of massive layoffs are about to occur within the company. It seems that Bungie, with the end of Destiny 2, may also be at the end of an era for the company.
