The End of Destiny 2 and the Return of Infinity Ward

A Fated Ending Well, that’s that then. Bungie has announced that Destiny 2’s next update will be its last, and the Shattered Cycle and The Alchemist expansions have been cancelled. It’s a shame, but I think most of us knew it would end like this. Destiny has been bleeding for…

Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate Campaign Review – Pen Beats Sword

I had no plans to cover Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate. My Guardian and Ghost were enjoying their retirement in The Tower after the conclusion of The Light and Darkness Saga, ready to let new guardians take up the mantle while they took Archie for ‘walkies’. That changed when…

Destiny: Where Does My Guardian Fit in The Final Shape?

The Final Shape approaches. Guardians across the system will take the fight to The Witness, fight side-by-side with old friend Cayde-6, and mix up their builds with the new Prismatic subclass. Like many Destiny players, I’m starting to feel nostalgic over my journey amongst the stars, though it started more…

This Week at Bungie: Fire, Everywhere

It’s been a red-letter week for Bungie, the studio behind Destiny 2, with almost 10% of its staff made redundant, reports of the live service game missing financial and player retention targets by large numbers – 45% below projected revenue – and the all-but-confirmed delay to the next Destiny expansion,…
