Destiny 2: Bungie Apologizes for The Final Shape Flop

Bungie has apologized for the launch issues with Destiny 2's The Final Shape expansion, released on June 4. Many players faced significant server issues, causing disruptions in gameplay, missing cutscenes, and losing progress. Bungie has issued updates and implemented restarts to address these connection issues. They also provided a method for players to replay missed cutscenes. Despite the issues, The Final Shape has increased player interest, with peak concurrent players reaching 315,285 on Steam. This expansion concludes Destiny’s decade-long storyline by placing players inside the Traveler to confront The Witness.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape is receiving negative user reviews due to significant server issues at launch, which prevented many players from progressing and experiencing the campaign as intended.

Destiny 2 has been a cornerstone of the looter-shooter genre since its release in 2017. Developed by Bungie, the game's universe has expanded through multiple expansions, each adding new layers to its story. The Final Shape marks a significant point as it wraps up an overarching narrative that has intrigued players for nearly a decade.
