Saying Goodbye to Destiny 2 is the Hardest Thing I’ll Ever Do in Gaming

I honestly can’t believe it. After learning that Bungie will officially be ending its ongoing development of Destiny 2 with one final update on June 9, 2026, I’m not sure how to feel about it. I knew the day would eventually come, especially in light of how rough its last couple of years have been, but knowing that hasn’t made the news any more bearable. I’m still in denial, my mouth agape in disbelief, that the game I once called home will now be abandoned by its builders, as it keeps its doors unlocked but leaves all the furniture inside subject to dust and natural decay. I’ll certainly revisit it one last time, but saying goodbye to Destiny 2 will still be the hardest thing I’ll ever do in gaming.
