Bungie says it's 'not done with Destiny,' will restore vaulted content
–
Neutral summary
Bungie has officially announced it is not done with the Destiny franchise, months after its controversial decision to end ongoing support for Destiny 2 sparked a backlash from players. In a video and blog post signed by studio head Poria Torkan and Marathon general manager Josh Dean, the developer acknowledged it had "lost sight" of what players loved and promised to earn back the community's trust. The studio plans to restore vaulted Destiny 2 content — campaigns, destinations, and raids removed six years ago under the Destiny Content Vault system — saying this will lay the foundation for future stories and games. Bungie also said it will continue to improve Marathon, the extraction shooter that "did not reach as many players as we had hoped." The announcement follows months of fan protests, including a petition asking Sony to develop Destiny 3 that has surpassed 410,000 signatures. Bungie explicitly acknowledged that the player response had a "real impact" on its plans. The studio had laid off "most" of the Destiny team in June.
