Following the recent news that Bungie would stop development on Destiny 2 in June 2026 after delivering one final update, rumors are starting to emerge from insider sources about the months leading up to the announcement and the inner workings at Bungie surrounding the game's sunsetting. According to insider sources, as reported by Forbes, the vast majority of Bungie staff were unaware of the plans to end development on the game, with only the select few team members—some working on the final update and others who had been moved to Marathon development—privy to the information. Those who were unaware of the upcoming announcement only found out about the plans to end development at the same time as the public, and many of those workers were left to continue working on future updates for Destiny 2 in the meantime. 据此前报道,Bungie 将在 2026 年 6 月发布最后一次更新后停止开发《命运 2》,如今内部消息人士开始透露该公告前数月的情况,以及 Bungie 内部围绕游戏停更的决策内幕。据 Forbes 援引知情人士的说法,Bungie 绝大多数员工此前并不知晓停止开发该游戏的决定,仅有少数团队成员——其中部分正在制作最后一次更新,部分已调往《Marathon》开发——知情。那些未获通知的员工与公众同时得知了停更计划,而在此期间,他们中的许多人仍被要求继续为《命运 2》制作后续更新。
与此同时,在公告前后,Bungie 已将《命运 2》团队成员调往其最新大型游戏《Marathon》。尽管这款游戏据估计销量达 120 万份,但似乎未能达到 Sony 与 Bungie 预期的商业成功,开发商正紧急添加功能以回应玩家关切。报道还称,在《命运 2》公告之后,Sony 正为《Marathon》调配更多资源,且并未期望《Marathon》能成为接替《命运》收入的下一个大型服务型游戏爆款——尽管预计即将推出的 PvE 和 PvP 更新将扩大该游戏的玩家基础。目前,Bungie 仍无其他已公布或传闻中的游戏项目在开发中;在《Marathon》尚处服务型运营早期阶段时,尚不清楚是否有其他项目获得批准——Bungie 员工曾提出过包括更多《命运》游戏在内的多项提案,但迄今均未被采纳。
