Bungie Closes the Book on Destiny, Charts an Uncertain Future

Bungie's decision to end major content updates for Destiny 2 marks a symbolic departure from the live-service gaming model that once defined the studio. The move reflects the industry-wide struggles of live-service games to maintain player engagement, while underscoring Sony's challenges in its aggressive acquisition strategy for live-service studios. As Bungie turns toward new intellectual property, the question remains whether the studio can find success outside the Destiny universe.
