Bungie has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons this past week, as the developer recently laid off around 100 of its employees, due to Destiny 2 not meeting expectations. This also led to a postponement of the next and final expansion in the game’s Light and Darkness Saga, as Destiny 2: The Final Shape was pushed back from February to June, while the studio’s other game, Marathon, was pushed back to 2025. Bungie has now addressed some of these developmental features in a new blog post.
Instead of the usual This Week in Destiny blog, Bungie has published a blog titled “Our Path Forward”where the developer specifically states:
“We want to acknowledge the feedback and concerns you have about Lightfall and the last few Seasons, as well as the reactions to the reveal of The Final Shape. We know we’ve lost a lot of your trust. Destiny needs to surprise and excite. We haven’t done that often enough , and we will change that.”
As for how Bungie intends to repair its relationship with fans, the developer adds: “For us, the way forward is clear: We must make The Final Shape an unforgettable Destiny experience. We want to create something that will be seen as one of the best games we’ve ever made”.
Bungie states that even after the layoffs, there are around 650 people working on The Final Shape at the moment, and that in the coming weeks we will know more about how the game is adjusted in the short term and starting with the next season that starts at the end of November.
