Major Surprises Await: Destiny 2's Updates Promise a Thrilling Evolution

Destiny 2 is currently facing some challenges, particularly with regards to maintenance times and server downtime, which has led to frustrations within the community. This has even sparked discussions about the possibility of a future game, "Destiny 3." However, despite these issues, there is still a lot of excitement surrounding Destiny 2's upcoming expansion, The Final Shape, as well as the Season of the Deep. The recent release of an impressive Dungeon and a range of engaging seasonal activities, from roguelike-style challenges to fishing mini-games, has further added to the game's popularity. Additionally, there are numerous upcoming changes in store for Destiny 2, including a significant update that took place last week.

Previously, Destiny 2's regular updates were shared every Thursday through blog posts on Bungie's website, known as "This Week at Bungie" or "TWAB" for short. These posts have always been a vital part of Destiny 2's development process, providing transparency and sharing information about upcoming releases and explanations for specific changes. However, as of last Thursday, these posts have been renamed to "This Week in Destiny" or "TWID," highlighting the significant impact of Bungie's Marathon on the game's future.

How Destiny 2's TWAB Posts' Name Change Impacts Marathon's Future

Sony's acquisition of Bungie has generated anticipation for the company's announcement of its new non-Destiny 2 projects. Among them is the highly anticipated "Matter," which was unveiled during the PlayStation Showcase on May 24. Bungie's upcoming game is a reboot of its beloved Marathon series and will feature an extraction-based shooter with a focus on PvP gameplay. While details about the game's mechanics and release date remain scarce, it is expected that Marathon will not make another public appearance for at least a year. Given the significance of this new IP for Bungie, it is understandable that they would take a cautious approach in its development. Nonetheless, periodic updates can be expected in the future, likely to be shared on the official Bungie website. This shift in focus also suggests that players may anticipate a "This Week in Marathon" post in the future, similar to the existing "This Week at Bungie" updates for Destiny 2.

As Bungie transitions into a new era, marked by the change in name from TWAB to TWID, there is potential for more significant updates beyond just Destiny 2. While TWABs have become known for their memes and community creations, the new TWID holds a lot of importance. With the upcoming focus on Marathon, there may be dedicated days each week for news on both the new IP and Destiny 2. As Bungie plans to release multiple new IPs in the future, it is hoped that this constant stream of updates does not overshadow Destiny 2 entirely. The upcoming Season 22 of Destiny 2, set to launch in a couple of months, will also provide a glimpse into The Final Shape, which is expected to be released in 2024. All of these developments will serve as a test for Bungie's new era.

Destiny 2 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
