This week, the free game that's being offered on the Epic Games Store is Destiny 2: Legacy Collection, which collects three paid expansion packs for Bungie's sci-fi shooter title in one title

After weeks of rumors, Bungie has officially announced a release date delay in the next Destiny 2 expansion pack, The Final Shape. The date was pushed back from February 27 to June 4, 2024.

Six of the 12 live service games in development at Sony studios do not have a launch window anymore. The company says it is now focusing on improving their quality before sticking to a schedule.

In a new update, Bungie stated that it has not done enough to "surprise and delight" Destiny 2 players and pledges to make its next expansion, The Final Shape, "an unforgettable Destiny experience."

The Sony-owned live-service giant Bungie has reportedly laid off 8% of its workforce following a major miss on its revenue targets. Future projects of the studio may been delayed internally too.

Destiny and original Halo developer Bungie is laying off an unknown amount of team members today. It is also reportedly delaying a new Destiny 2 expansion along with its recently announced Marathon.

Bungie today announced The Final Shape expansion and a new season called Season of the Witch. The expansion is now available for pre-order. The season structure also changes to a new episodic model.

Bungie offered a brief description for an unnamed upcoming new team-based action game that's set in a "science-fantasy universe" and in a "comedic world". It's now hiring to develop the project.

The Final Shape will also be the final expansion for Destiny 2's Light and Darkness Saga. Details about The Final Shape will be revealed in a streaming event on August 22 starting at Noon Eastern Time

A newly revealed internal email from 2020 from Xbox head Phil Spencer asked for permission to look into purchasing Sega Sammy, and Microsoft also considered buying other publishers and developers.

Marathon was one of developer Bungie's first games, and now the developer is bringing the franchise back as a sci-fi PvP shooter. However, there's no word on when the game will launch.

Joseph Staten, who also worked on the first three Halo games as well as Destiny for Bungie, confirmed late on Friday he was leaving Microsoft but didn't say what he will be doing next.

The most recent major expansion for Bungie's sci-fi shooter Destiny 2, The Witch Queen, is available to play for free until February 26. The next big expantion, Lightfall, is coming February 28.

Destiny developer Bungie got a $4.4 million award in a lawsuit case against AimJunkies, a site that sold cheats and mods that were used on Bungie's sci-fi first person shooter series of games.

Yesterday, original Halo composer Marty O'Donnell confirmed that he, Mike Salvatori, and Microsoft have resolved their legal differences and now he can share certain music again on YouTube.

A new report by Eurogamer says that original Halo composers Marty O'Donnell and Mike Salvatori want to block the Halo show from launching until Microsoft offers them “clarity” over some Halo songs.

With the Bungie acquisition, Sony is looking to jump into the live service side of things. The company has plans to launch at least 10 games with live service elements before March, 2026.

Today, The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley said that he's heard of more big gaming deals in the final stages of negotiations. It's unclear which companies are involved, but it may be Sony.

Sony has announced it will be acquiring the studio behind the Halo and Destiny universes, Bungie, for a cool $3.6 billion. Interestingly, the studio will continue to push multiplatform experiences.

Today, Bungie announced the next major expansion to Destiny 2 called The Witch Queen. This new nemesis has stolen Light and it's up to you and your fellow Guardians to find out how, and to stop her.
