Following Bungie's announcement to cease support for the Destiny 2 franchise, disheartened fans have taken to the battlefield once more - this time to wage an epic war against servers in a bid to demonstrate unwavering enthusiasm for the game. In a passionate call-to-arms on Reddit, Destiny devotee w1nds0r has rallied gamers worldwide to unite on June 9, when the final content drop arrives. The gaming community was left reeling last week as Bungie revealed its decision to halt updates for Destiny 2 in favor of Marathon, a new shooter that reportedly hasn't met sales expectations. Speculation suggests that no Destiny sequel is imminent, and layoffs are looming at the company. In response, w1nds0r urges fellow players to band together and break Marathon's all-time high player count as a testament to the franchise's enduring value. With over 1,000 responses echoing similar sentiments, fans are gearing up to revisit Destiny 2's Tower, embark on alien world missions, or simply soar in orbit for endless chats. Prepare for an epic showdown! As Sony prepares to integrate Destiny 2 into its PlayStation Plus Extra and Premier tiers upon the game's final update, it seems that June 9 will indeed witness a massive player influx. The Destiny 2: Legacy Collection (2025) featuring The Final Shape expansion will be accessible for Extra and Premium/Deluxe members, although some earlier expansions may remain behind paywalls. As the dust settles on this shocking development, the Destiny community is bidding a bittersweet farewell, as whispers emerge that the "majority" of Bungie staff were unaware of the game's impending demise until it was made public. In the days since, fans have taken to the Marathon Steam page to voice their discontent with negative reviews, while others counter with a positive campaign. A petition advocating for Sony to greenlight Destiny 3 continues to gather steam, with over 265,000 signatures demanding a third game in the series.
