‘It’s a bit sappy and sentimental but that’s how we’re feeling’: Bungie gets emotional in latest Destiny 2 blog post

Destiny 2 is soon to end its active development and receive one final update before Bungie moves on to greener pastures (or no pastures, who knows). But the developer isn’t going to make this last patch a nothingburger, with fans believing Monument of Triumph could be the best single update in the game’s nine-year history. Yesterday, May 29, Bungie issued a blog post where it got a tad emotional over this whole end-of-development thing. “Before we dig in, we wanted to take a moment to thank you,” it wrote. “Every memory and every moment you’ve shared with us over the years has fueled our future. Every ounce of our June update is for you, and we hope you feel it as you continue to read through our insight articles,” the blog post goes on. “Yeah, it’s a bit sappy and sentimental… but that’s how we’re feeling while reading all of your stories over the last week.” https://embeds.beehiiv.com/a8d62108-86ed-4039-bf49-44877ba62c15 At least it’ll be a proper send-off. Image via Bungie After this heartfelt token of appreciation, Bungie shared loads of new details about Monument of Triumph. To put a very long patch note article short, this new update will introduce a new weapon tier upgrading system, tier upgrading for crafted weapons, buffs to Exotics, balance changes, buffs, new mechanics, and other tweaks and improvements. Bungie wants to end Destiny 2’s lifecycle on a bang, and given how positive fan reactions have been to this post, I think the studio is on the right path. Shame that it couldn’t do that while the game was still alive and well. “The June 9 update is looking like the best one in recent years,” one user wrote on Reddit. However, another pointed out the same thing as I: if Bungie released updates of this size, scope, and quality during the game’s peak, then we perhaps wouldn’t be in this situation. We can’t tell the future, of course, but something tells me the hole Destiny 2 finds itself in didn’t dig itself up. Just saying. Either way, Monument of Triumph is the end of a very long journey, and hope remains that Bungie and Sony both learned something from this arduous experience and won’t repeat the same mistakes down the line. (Hint: they probably will.) 0 The post ‘It’s a bit sappy and sentimental but that’s how we’re feeling’: Bungie gets emotional in latest Destiny 2 blog post appeared first on Destructoid.
