Sparrow Racing returns! Nothing else matters! Wheeeeeeeeeee!

Intellectually, I knew this could happen. Not ready emotionally.

…as if it were from an old dream…

Well, unexpected forum data wormholes aside, I still don’t really know what to say about this. It’s sad. It sucks. It’s not the ending that Destiny 2 deserves.

I do think it’s very thoughtful that the dev team are giving us as much as they can with this final update. I also think it’s great that Marathon is being given a second chance to become something that can drive the future of the studio. I only wish that it didn’t have to come at the expense of a game that still has quite a bit of life left in it. The days of full-sized expansions like The Final Shape are clearly over, but the game is still pulling tens of thousands of concurrent users on any given day and an audience is there for additional content as long as it is satisfying to play.

Doesn’t matter now, I suppose. This is the end. Hold your breath and count to ten.

Realistically, we have probably arrived at the end of the Destiny franchise, at least for a good long while to come, so all I can say is that I hope this decision turns out to have been worth it.

I'm okay with that. I just hope they can take what they've learned and do it again with something new. The Final Shape should have been the end (even though I was really looking forward to Old Chicago!). I'm more than ready for a new Bungie universe--I just hope they get that opportunity.

I'm not sure it's realistic, but I'd love to see them go on an make a smaller game now. I'm not sure that's the expectation for them now, with them being in the live service space for twelve years now, but it'd be cool to see them return to their roots a bit and make just a good campaign shooter.

A year ago, I’d have said there’s no chance of that and they’re fully committed to live service now, etc., but now I think all bets are off. If they do something like that, it’ll most likely be as a component of Marathon, though. They can talk about incubation projects until they’re blue in the face, but none of those are going anywhere if Marathon doesn’t pick up some more steam.
