Destiny 2 is scheduled to receive its final update in June, bringing an end to the sci-fi MMO’s latest chapter. Players who began in 2014 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are surprised by how soon the game is ending. Some players left when the franchise shifted from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2 in 2017, while others stayed through later years despite setbacks. Many felt The Final Shape in 2024 was a natural stopping point after a decade of storytelling. Reactions range from sadness and numbness to anger, with many commenters immediately asking when the next installment, such as Destiny 3, will arrive.
"Destiny 2 will get its final update in June, closing out the latest chapter in Bungie's long-running sci-fi MMO. For players who have been playing since the original came to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One back in 2014, it's hard to believe. Everything ends eventually, but Destiny 2 's end feels like it came earlier than it needed to."
"Many Guardians ended their journeys when Bungie switched from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2 in 2017. Another wave of players were left behind amid the loot shooter's various stumbles over the ensuing years. Many felt The Final Shape in 2024, which concluded a decade of storytelling, was the right time to part ways with the game. But even if Destiny 2 's trajectory over the past two years felt increasingly inevitable, it's no less shocking or sad to see its long, legendary arc finally come to a close."
"Many people's first reaction to the news was something along the lines of "OMG!" followed immediately by "D3 when?" Holy shit.... I'm so sad to see Destiny 2 go, but imo this very heavily implies that Destiny 3 (or whatever the next chapter is) is in development. Could be Copium, but I hope it's not https://t.co/0hekx0v6AL"
"I'm absolutely numb. I knew Destiny wasn't going to last forever, but I'm just not ready yet. - SamiKat (@samikatplays) May 21, 2026 What the fuck are they thinking. I'm livid. To kill this game that hundreds of thousands of people are still actively invested in...... - Ryan (@oldpaledrake) May 21, 2026"
