Why 2026 is Already One of the Saddest Years Ever for Shooter Fans

Richard Warren — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 19:30:17 GMT

2026 has been an incredibly interesting year for the gaming industry, as though fans of many genres are drowning in games to play, fans of one prominent type of game are left wanting more. Action and stealth fans recently got to play the brilliant 007: First Light, and have Marvel’s Wolverine waiting just around the corner. Cozy gamers have been having a great time with Pokemon Pokopia, sinking hours into the delightful game as they create stunning habitats for their favorite pocket monsters. And horror fans got to experience surefire Game of the Year contender Resident Evil Requiem, which arguably balances horror and action better than any other entry in the series. But for shooter fans, it feels like disappointment is lurking around every corner as of late.

June 9 Is Going to Be a Historic Day for Destiny 2

It has been a discouraging couple of weeks for Destiny 2 fans, after they learned that Bungie would be concluding ongoing development of the live-service game once a final update launches on June 9, 2026. For the first time in over a decade, the world of Destiny will effectively come to a halt, despite both Destiny 2 and its predecessor remaining playable in maintenance mode. That, in and of itself, makes the June 9 update a historic one, but there are even more reasons why that date will likely be one of the biggest days in the series' history.

Destiny 2 Being Playable After Its Final Update Doesn't Mean It's Still Alive

Josh Cotts — Fri, 29 May 2026 11:01:16 GMT

If you haven't heard the news yet, you must not be on the internet much, but live-service support for Destiny 2 is effectively coming to an end after one final update, Monument of Triumph, on June 9, 2026. To be clear, no one really saw this coming. Those of us who played the game knew of its issues, and even many of those who had never played it and only heard about it were more than aware. However, something inside of us fans always believed Bungie would pull through and that Destiny 2 would not just survive but actually eventually reach a point where it was consistently excellent rather than just occasionally great.

Destiny vs Marathon: Bungie's Community is Divided at the Worst Time

Andrea Trama — Fri, 29 May 2026 03:00:16 GMT

As recently announced by Bungie, Destiny 2 is unfortunately meeting its untimely end on June 9, with a final update that marks a new era for the game with no new content, live-service patches, expansions, or anything of the sort. The final update for Destiny 2 on June 9 seems to be pretty substantial for a non-expansion patch, and Bungie will share more information before launch. For now, players can take a look at the first Dev Insight post, which includes the return of the Director, a revamp of all Destination rewards with unique events for each of them, Sparrow Racing League, and more. This is a small dream update for the game at the worst time possible, and yet, the community stands divided.

Destiny 2: Everything Missing From the Game as It Shuts Down Service

Josh Cotts — Thu, 28 May 2026 22:00:16 GMT

One of the reasons the inevitable shutdown of Destiny 2 is such a big deal is because once live-service support for it concludes, it will usher in an era unlike any we've seen in gaming for over a decade. Yes, Destiny 2 will technically still be playable for the foreseeable future, but this will be the first time in over 13 years that fans haven't had something Destiny-oriented to look forward to. With reports that Destiny 3 is not, nor has it ever been, in the works, this means everything that exists within the world of Destiny is dying with the Destiny 2's final update in June.

Destiny Infinity Plans Revealed in New Report

Andrea Trama — Thu, 28 May 2026 15:56:17 GMT

Destiny 2 could have become 'Destiny Infinity,' according to a new report. Bungie has been struggling with Destiny 2 for a long time, as the game's The Final Shape expansion was posited as the conclusion of the Light and Darkness saga, and thus of Destiny as a whole. Subsequent expansions didn't perform according to expectations, based on a new report, and it's clear that the game was not succeeding at retaining players or drawing new ones in. Between a FOMO-based seasonal approach, a new saga starting with The Edge of Fate, and internal issues at Bungie, Destiny 2 is meeting its demise on June 9.
