Destiny 2 followers should not “blame” themselves for Bungie selecting to finish help for the sport, says the corporate’s comms supervisor.
The Destiny neighborhood has been in mourning for a few month now after Bungie abruptly introduced it might be ending help for Destiny 2. Though the sport will stay playable, Bungie is not going to be including new content material to the sport. This got here as a shock to its neighborhood, who assumed a vibrant future was forward for the title, however that is not the case.
One fan contemplated over whether or not or not the neighborhood may have performed extra to help the sport. Bungie communications supervisor Dylan Gafner responded by merely saying nothing extra might be performed and thanked followers for nearly a full decade of help.
“You all have performed extra for this recreation and our studio than may ever be imagined, and no phrases can precisely depict how fortunate we’re to have shared these worlds with you,” stated Gafner. “Don’t blame yourselves or suppose you could possibly have / ought to have performed extra. That is simply the best way it goes typically. Regardless of the longer term, we are going to at all times have these recollections.”
In truth, it is onerous not to have a look at a few of the statements and vibes popping out of Bungie and never really feel like issues are bleak. Reviews point out that Destiny 3 just isn’t within the works and that Bungie is bracing for “important” layoffs. Former Bungie workers have additionally been reminiscing on dream tasks that they had within the Destiny universe, together with a relationship simulator.
Bungie will, after all, stay operational, as it’s absolutely dedicated to supporting Marathon. However important doubt has been forged on whether or not or not the workforce will get one other shot at a big-budget AAA recreation once more after Marathon failed to carry out commercially. The video games trade as an entire is in a tense place proper now because it navigates financial hardships, which means it is more durable than ever to take probabilities on bold and costly tasks.
Possibly Bungie will get to make a giant new recreation sooner or later, however such a mission probably would not see the sunshine of day for a few years.
