When discussing why Destiny 2: The Final Shape is one of the biggest releases of this year, I looked back on my journey with the franchise. Honestly, it’s impressive that Bungie’s shared world shooter turned social shooter, then looter shooter and maybe MMO-lite shooter, has survived for all this time. Then it really begins to hit – Destiny 1 launched in September 2014, and the conclusion to its story, referred to as the Light and Darkness saga, is out on June 4th with The Final Shape.
That’s ten years that the franchise has survived, and it’s ridiculous, not only because of the shifts in live service trends, the internal troubles at Bungie and much more, but because this franchise had to be rebuil…
