Destiny 2’s last planned patch delayed after colossal Bungie layoffs, even as pervasive glitches remain

Destiny 2‘s last scheduled bugfix has been delayed in the wake of yesterday’s brutal layoffs at Bungie, the studio confirmed today. This still leaves some potentially complicated bugs in the game for the time being, as well as other issues. The confirmation for the delay came through the official DestinyTeam accounts on social media, which also said some of the fixes were from team members affected by the devastating layoffs on Thursday. It’s “not a forever delay,” however, and the team will get the patch out “when possible.” The sudden ceasing of Destiny 2 development gave devs little time to address some of the issues with the game’s final update, Monument of Triumph, and it’s impressive that the team could tackle as many issues since the update released on June 9. With the end-of-service announcement, however, Bungie said particularly troublesome items could be disabled rather than fixed, presumably since there wouldn’t be enough resources to find a solution.https://embeds.beehiiv.com/a8d62108-86ed-4039-bf49-44877ba62c15 The Botza District isn’t the only thing in ruins.
