Bungie Staff Didn’t Know Destiny 2 Support Was Coming to an End


The “vast majority” of Bungie staff was reportedly unaware of the plans to discontinue support for Destiny 2 until the announcement was made public last week.

The alleged insight into the goings-on at the former Halo developer came from a Forbes report and followed last week’s news that it would publish one final content update next month, June 9. It was an announcement that shook an industry that had watched the studio launch its latest project, Marathon, just months ago, and it apparently came as a surprise to many of the very developers it involved, too.

The site stated that, according to its sources, the “vast majority of Bungie did not know about Destiny 2 support being dropped right up until it was publicly announced.” The limited number of teams privy to the information beforehand included some that had already begun working on the final content and others who had already transitioned over to Marathon.

Just weeks ago, Sony reported a $765 million impairment loss due to the developer’s underperformance during its last financial year. The PlayStation maker acquired Bungie for $3.6 billion in 2022.

As Bungie winds down Destiny 2 and hopes to find stable ground with Marathon, fans are doing what they can to enjoy the developer’s work. A petition calling on Sony to greenlight Destiny 3 has already sprouted in the last few days and, at the time of this piece’s publication, has amassed more than 200,000 signatures.
