Remains playable

One last update, then Bungie lets go of Destiny 2.
But a sequel is not waiting – rather substantial redundancies, according to Bloomberg.
“From the deepest parts of our hearts, thank you all. See you in the stars”writes the studio.
The game developer Bungie announced Thursday night that a final major update for Destiny 2 will be released on June 9. After that, the online shooter, which was released in 2017 and overtime became a great success, is not to be further developed any more.
“Although active development may be coming to an end, 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”writes Bungie on its website.
“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has made this journey with us”.
The studio also writes that they are starting to work on new games.
But according to Bloomberg isn’t Destiny 3.
“Significant number of redundancies”
The magazine has spoken to individuals familiar with the studio’s plans. According to these, who remain anonymous, there are no plans to jump straight into development of a Destiny sequel.
Nor does it look like there will be a total investment in the extraction shooter Marathon, which was released in March, although some developers have already had to shift their focus to that game.
Rather, according to Bloomberg, there will be no new projects for Destiny 2’s development team and Sony, which owns the studio, is expected to implement a “significant number of layoffs.”
Sony bought Bungie for just over SEK 33 billion in 2022.
