More than 2,500 Steam reviews hit Destiny 2 after Bungie said the game's final content drop will arrive on June 9, 2026, setting off a split campaign of angry posts and farewell tributes.
Bungie said the nearly nine-year-old shooter will stop getting new content but stay online and playable, similar to the original Destiny's long-tail support.
Negative reviews blamed years of monetization shifts and design decisions, while supportive players posted memorial-style messages about friendships, memories and thousands of hours spent in the game.
Bloomberg reported after the announcement that Bungie faces significant layoffs and is not actively developing a Destiny 2 follow-up, deepening uncertainty around the franchise's future.

With no sequel planned, is this the end of the Destiny universe as a major gaming franchise?

With a billion-dollar write-down, can Bungie's struggling shooter save it from Sony's wave of studio closures?
