Bungie ended support for Destiny 2 to bet everything on Marathon, and right now that bet looks bad.

Entering a competitive match without an optimized loadout means heading straight back to the orbit screen.

Destiny 2 is shutting the door with one final update. Bungie tossed seven historical seasonal artifacts into the sandbox so you can build the most broken loadout possible for your victory lap.

Bungie resurrected several vaulted raid encounters for Pantheon 2.0 and tied them to an unforgiving boss rush.

Brutal rumors suggest Sony is preparing to slash Bungie's workforce by 50 percent this summer. A disastrous launch for Marathon and the wind down of Destiny 2 have reportedly left the studio in a massive chokehold.

The Monument of Triumph update finally fixed the Deepsight restrictions from Edge of Fate, giving your vaulted crafted weapons a direct path back into the current meta.

Bungie completely flipped the armor meta by giving every set unique two and four piece bonuses.

Bungie buried the actual narrative payoff to a ten-year saga behind a convoluted menu checklist.

Bungie actually resurrected Sparrow Racing League for the final Destiny 2 update, trading standard gunfights for high-speed drift courses.

Bungie added 26 new Exotic catalysts and reworked nine older ones to give every golden gun a proper upgrade path.

Bungie added one last currency grind to clear out the legacy cosmetics, and you can't swipe a credit card to bypass it.

Destiny 2 is down bad, and Bungie is finally asking the tough questions. A leaked survey suggests the return of Sparrow Racing League, unvaulted campaigns like Red War, and even NPC sidekicks are on the table to save the game.
