2023 has not been the best of years for Destiny 2, with a rocky launch for the very first moments of Lightfall's launch and throughout the following months, as community morale was at an all-time low. With the layoffs at Bungie making over a hundred developers lose their jobs, including key figures who had been vocal about player sentiment and tried to keep communications going both ways, the announcement that The Final Shape's launch was being delayed to June 2024 was the icing on the cake for many. However, Bungie is making promises about the quality of The Final Shape on launch as well as delivering something great with its S23 and Episode 1 content, so fans should keep an eye on Destiny 2 in 2024.
