Destiny 2 was finally updated and the game will remain in operation, but no new content will be introduced. With this update on the line, Destiny 2 players began to surge, while online players reached a once 167,000, the highest data since 2024, when the DLC came online.
9 June, prior to the final update of the official material. The Destiny 2 community began to mobilize, hoping that as many players as possible would go online to support the 77,000 people who went beyond the marathon and were also at the top of the online player, while putting pressure on the game server to prove to Sony and the developer Bungie that Destiny 2 was still valuable. Thanks to the efforts of the players, at approximately 1.45 p.m. Eastern United States time, Destiny 2’s server collapsed.
Normally, the crash of the game server will receive complaints from the player. But this time, Destiny 2 players tanned the wrong landing screens as a medal for victory. For many players, this is a strong response to Bungie’s hold on Destiny 2. For other players, it is also a way to say goodbye to Destiny 2.
“I never thought I’d say this, but as a community, we just collapsed Destiny 2 servers, and I’m very happy about that,” said Macics, an online content creator. Others published false information and called for the launch of Destiny 3, but this game is unlikely to have a production plan in the short term.
The Bungie official service account issued an announcement regarding the collapse of the server and the comment area was almost flooded by the cheers of the player. A number of players have called on the authorities not to abandon Destiny 2 or to launch Destiny 3 as soon as possible. According to the report, the server returned to normal in about 10 minutes, and SteamDB data show that more than 130,000 Destiny 2 players are on Steam, resulting in overloading of the server.
Bungie has clearly focused her work on its new ” Lost Star Ship: Marathon ” , but the marathon has not attracted a large number of regular players, and its performance has been unsatisfactory, causing a huge loss to the parent company, Sony. Since Destiny 2 came to an end, a series of fans have been very disappointed and have spontaneously petitioned Sony to develop Destiny 3.
However, according to Bloomberg, Destiny 3 is not currently in Bungie ‘ s development plan. In addition, Bungie plans to undertake “large-scale” staff reductions. However, there are also rumours that the studio is developing proposals and prototypes for a new game in Destiny.
Given Bungie ‘ s current financial difficulties, the cost of producing such a game could be too high and could not be released until early 2030. But it is hard to imagine that Destiny 3 will come to life one day, but in the short term it will be just the wish of the players.
