Overview
- Bungie announced on May 21 that active development of Destiny 2 would end and that a final live‑service update, Monument of Triumph, is planned for June 9 while the game remains playable.
- A Change.org petition created by Harley Casto on May 22 has gone viral, collecting rapidly rising signature totals reported variously as tens of thousands, roughly 131,000, and more than 170,000 across outlets.
- Multiple industry reports say Destiny 3 was not in active production and that Bungie lacks post‑Final Shape funding, with at least one report that PlayStation previously rejected a D3 pitch.
- Reporting also describes planned significant layoffs at Bungie and the studio’s current focus on other projects such as Marathon, both of which would make mounting a large sequel more difficult.
- The petition highlights strong community bonds and nostalgia among players but it does not change publisher funding decisions, so the next developments to watch are any official Sony or Bungie statements and the June Monument of Triumph update.
