The Bittersweet Farewell to Destiny 2’s Weekly Updates

Destiny 2 fans, it’s time to embrace a wave of nostalgia as we face the end of an era. With the recent rollout of the Monument of Triumph update, the beloved game is saying goodbye to its weekly updates, known as This Week in Destiny (TWID). For many players, this moment is a mix of emotions—like finishing a thrilling novel that you never want to end.

The launch of this final update went off without a hitch, which is a refreshing change considering Bungie’s history with major patches. In the latest TWID, the Destiny team reassured players that they are closely monitoring the game for any necessary adjustments and have plans for a minor patch to address these issues next Tuesday.

But here’s where the heartstrings tug a bit. The team reminded fans that while they will continue to provide updates for a few weeks following the launch, the regular weekly blogs will soon go into hibernation. Fear not, though; Bungie will still keep the communication lines open through social media, their website, and Discord, sharing community highlights and news.

Even I, who haven’t jumped into Destiny 2 for quite some time, feel a pang of sadness. I remember the days when I’d blissfully dive into the game, occasionally causing chaos for my teammates with my overzealous use of supers. And while I might have missed the TWIDs, I know many dedicated players eagerly awaited those updates—like my former colleague, who would brave storms just to finish a raid!

As we gear up to bid farewell to TWIDs, let’s take a moment to appreciate the joy and connection this game has brought to so many. Though the updates may cease, the memories and experiences will continue to resonate within the Destiny community. So, here’s to the adventures we had, the battles fought, and the friends made along the way! Farewell, TWID, you will be missed!
