After a week that's seen significant layoffs at Bungie, as well as reports of a delay for Destiny 2's The Final Shape expansion, the studio has told players «we know we have lost a lot of your trust» and promised to reveal plans to «take us all out of this Darkness and into the Light.»
Reports of widespread layoffs at Bungie began circulating on Monday, and were later confirmed in statement from studio CEO Pete Parsons. Bloomberg later reported around 100 employees — approximately eight percent of Bungie's 1200-strong workforce — were affected by the job cuts, and that the layoffs followed internal warnings that studio revenue was 45 percent below projections due to a «sharp drop» in the popularity of Destiny 2.
Further reports have continued to paint a bleak picture of Destiny 2's fortunes; pre-orders for The Final Shape are said to be disappointing, while «good» rather than «great» feedback has reportedly lead management to delay the expansion from February to June next year.
While Bungie continues to be evasive where questions of a Final Shape delay are concerned (the studio's Marathon reimagining is reportedly also delayed and now due in 2025), it's certainly interesting to read its latest statement to Bungie fans with these recent reports in mind.
«We want to acknowledge the feedback and concerns you have about Lightfall and recent Seasons,» the developer wrote, «as well as your responses to the reveal of The Final Shape. We know we have lost a lot of your trust. Destiny needs to surprise and delight. We haven’t done this enough and that's going to change.»
«To us the path forward is clear,' it continued. „We need to make The Final Shape an unforgettable Destiny experience. We want to build something that will be regarded alongside the best games we've ever made – a fitting culmination that honours the journey we've been on together for the past ten years. Forsaken, The Witch Queen, and The Taken King – these are the standard bearers we aim to live up to.“
Bungie insists it is „intensely focused on exceeding...expectations for The Final Shape“ and says more than 650 team members are „pouring all their energy and expertise into delivering this epic moment and its subsequent Episodes.“ It adds that it'll unpack a „bigger, bolder, and brighter vision“ for the expansion some time after it's detailed Destiny 2's next Season in late November, and that it'll outline „the bridge we plan to build to take us all out of this Darkness and into the Light“ at the same time.
Elsewhere in its statement, Bungie calls this week „one of the most difficult weeks in our studio's history, as we've parted ways with people we respect and admire.“ The studio's previous public acknowledgement of the layoffs — in

Season 23 of Destiny 2 is on the horizon, currently slated to roll out on November 28, meaning a new season pass will be available for players to work their way through. This can be one of the game's best ways to get a hold of exotic weapons — some of the game's most powerful firearms — but as you can imagine you'll have to work pretty hard to get there.
Bungie has sent out a new press release claiming that Destiny 2’s final DLC, The Final Shape, is still releasing on February 2024.
Wyll the warlock may not be our favorite Baldur's Gate 3 companion, but that's only because the overall standard is so high. In any other RPG he'd be a top pick, and even in Baldur's Gate 3 he's worth keeping around. It's just a shame you can't complete his personal quest, which earns you a sweet Infernal Robe and prevents him from growing a pair of horns, without killing Karlach, who is everyone's number one fave.
Destiny 2's community team has been nominated at The Game Awards for their liaising, feedback collection, transparency, and player correspondence – and a lot of the people behind that work are no longer at the company following a recent wave of painful layoffs at Bungie.
In this technology-driven era, it is almost impossible to imagine being without a smartphone. It has become an unattachable part of our lives and if things go wrong, it becomes unbearable. This often happens when you forget passwords. In fact, it would feel like a nightmare if we forgot our smartphone passcode. However, if you have an iPhone, it is a lot easier to get back access. So, if you have recently bought an iPhone 15 and you have forgotten your passcode, then don't panic. You can easily regain access to your device by following the steps below:
Destiny 2 is currently in a rough spot. Player morale is at an all-time low, tanking after a round of Bungie layoffs and news of a reported delay for the upcoming The Final Shape expansion. And while Bungie is using the delay to double down on ensuring the new expansion is a smash hit, serious concerns about Destiny’s longevity are cropping up. Even if The Final Shape proves to be everything Bungie promises, inescapable factors persist against the game.
By using the best builds and team comps for Charlotte in , you can significantly improve the character’s performance on the field, either as a sub-DPS or a support hero. Charlotte was first introduced as a Fontainian NPC during a limited-time event before the release of Fontaine itself in Version 4.0. She proceeded to cross paths with the Traveler and Paimon and has since been added as a playable character in 4.2. Charlotte is a 4-star hero, meaning her potential is limited in comparison to other heroes, but she is easier to obtain.
The lead-up to The Final Shape expansion is tying off some plot threads from all the way back in the Last Wish raid.
provides a considerable amount of tools that enable players to build and create unique cities or attempt to recreate places from the real world in the game that can be intricately detailed. The city-planning game is intricately crafted to provide beautiful graphics and an AI for things like traffic patterns and even individual sims walking around the world, giving it a sense of realism. The large skyscrapers, unique special buildings, and the Developer Mode tools give users the ability to be as artistic as they want, or simply play the game and let the city build itself as it will.
To fully Ascend Charlotte in is to unlock the path toward her best build and, subsequently, her best performance on the field. The journalist from the Steambird is known for her eccentric personality and constant search for new stories to tell via the outlet, inside Fontaine and across several other nations in Teyvat. Charlotte is one of the new playable characters in 4.2, along with Furina, the Hydro Archon. She had, however, already debuted in the game as an NPC, even before the arrival of the region of Fontaine itself.
The best part of Starfield is undeniably your spaceship, which can be customized or built from scratch to look like anything from a cute little ladybug to a massive Star Destroyer.
