On June 9, 2026, Bungie will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2.
You must log in or # to comment.
Maybe they’ll let us play all the story content they removed once they have a reason to stop removing content to sell more.
Destiny 1 up to the Vault of Glass was incredibly special, and then had a lot of bumps but some great moments. House of Wolves, the Taken King, SIVA/Iron Lords and the first Moments of Triumph.
Although I played a lot of D2 it never quite got to the same level of magic.
The first couple of years with Curse of Osiris etc and their attempt to make everything zany really undid a lot of the cool atmosphere and story they did in D1.
Then when they made it so Your Guardian wasn’t The Guardian any more by having each world-first raid completion be canon (i.e. other guardians killed the raid boss not you, changing the Dreaming City, or opening up the Leviathan…) it was hard to keep the immersion alive.
There were so many things you needed other people to help you with it meant a significant portion of the game was interacting with other gamers - which means Bungie’s gaming experience is in the hands of one of the most mercurial groups of people on the planet.
They got back there with the Pyramid ships, Witch Queen, Vow of the Disciple, but by then we were in the content treadmill and everything felt disposable because they’d delete content regularly.
So you ended up with a temporary, non-ownable experience that relied on real world interaction with other gamers, in a world with incredibly scattershot storytelling of varying quality.
I’d love if SKG was able to get this before they pull the plug entirely. Allow the community to keep it running, let them restore the lost content, unlock/add cosmetics, etc etc.
A guy can dream…of essentially what games were 15-20 years ago.
Open it up to us Linux players please.
Obviously this isn’t going to happen… But that’d be pretty cool.
It’s a bit too late, as I would have needed Linux support years ago to play with my friends. I would rather play something else and pay for a different game instead supporting this company again.
Bring back the sunsetted content, including past seasons, all the way back to the Red War campaign, and open it for Linux users… I wish lol
I don’t expect them to bring back the Red War campaign. They’d have to go through the entire campaign and touch up all old assets because they were made for before the engine upgrade. It would be a pretty significant undertaking. But opening it to Linux users is probably a walk in the park because it’s most likely the anti-cheat that is preventing the game from Running on Linux and Battleye to my knowledge does have a Linux build, so it just needs to be implemented. But as it is with big companies and Linux they usually just don’t want to do it.
I don’t care, they should still put all the content people fucking paid for back into the game, as well as all the other shit they deleted from it in the name “gAmE hEaLtH” (still an absolute dogshit “reason” to delete all the content your fans actually paid for).
For one, it would mean damn near everyone would jump back on to play again, and two it would be a massive olive basket from the devs who are still left working there.
The biggest thing is people paid for that content and with almost zero warning it got fucking deleted with no real way of bringing it back. What a stupid fucking decision. They killed their own game.
The only reason I didn’t buy Marathon was because of the AC not working on linux. What a waste but at least I saved some money.
Let it die, let it die, let it shrivel up and die.
I’m sure they will come crawling back to Destiny when Marathon finally bites it after its slow, agonizingly painful yet deserved death. Destiny 1 was pretty decent, but after learning how Jason Jones treated Joe Statens story treatments on Destiny, I won’t ever support him.
Let it die, let it die, let it shrivel up and die.
Why? As much as I do not like this company, let games NOT die. I hope Destiny 2 will be playable forever. Games should not get lost. Also there are still players, let them have their fun.
In fact, the best that could happen is if they allow for players to host their own servers. And even better if the game becomes playable on Linux too. I personally wouldn’t play it any more, but for the preservation reasons it should not die.
People like to rag on Destiny, but it really has been successful. Games the size of Destiny just don’t last this long. That’s what makes the end so alarming. D1 had D2, which helped a lot. It didn’t FEEL like it was ending. I know they all but said “Something Destiny is coming”, but not having anything announced right now, just feels worse.

Warframe is still going strong. Much of that is the result of competent developers and managers who don’t absolutely suck dog eggs.
Shame. But welcome to Warframe.
