Destiny 2 Fans, Brace Yourselves: Major Overhaul Coming Soon!

Bungie has announced that it will be retiring the classic TWAB branding for its weekly blog posts, which have been a staple for Destiny 2 fans for years. Previously known as the "Bungie Weekly Update," the TWAB was created in 2016 to specifically focus on the Destiny franchise. However, with changes happening at the studio, Bungie has decided to further evolve its branding and content. While the blog will continue to deliver news and updates, fans of Destiny may have to get used to a new format in the coming weeks.

Bungie's latest blog post for Destiny 2 reveals that the TWAB has been renamed to This Week in Destiny (TWID). While the post doesn't delve into the reasoning behind the change, it's speculated that the upcoming revival of the Marathon franchise may be a factor. Despite the name change, Bungie has assured fans that TWID will continue as usual. Perhaps we can expect a similar weekly blog post series for Marathon in the future, potentially named This Week in Marathon (TWIM).

Bungie has yet to reveal much about the highly anticipated game, Marathon, which is still in its early stages of development. However, it has been confirmed to be a live-service extraction shooter with both PvP and PvE elements. Unlike its predecessors, Marathon is not a direct sequel to any of the previous games in the series. Despite the limited information currently available, Bungie is gearing up to release more details in the near future.

Marathon boasts a visually stunning art style and represents a new direction for Bungie, leaving fans eager for more information. To avoid conflicting with Destiny's own publications, Bungie is taking the necessary steps to ensure a smooth and official release of Marathon's details. With Bungie's attention now split between multiple franchises, some Destiny fans have expressed concerns about the studio's ability to manage both properties effectively.

It's important to note that hosting an official blog post does not always equate to being accountable. Bungie has chosen to remain silent about Destiny 2's missing features in the past, and while the community's concerns have been addressed in TWAB posts, it's understandable that the studio may opt to steer clear of discussing certain issues. Marathon's own weekly blog posts could potentially face similar challenges as a result. Keep in mind that Destiny 2 is currently playable on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
