​Bungie Community Update – October 2026     ​

Welcome back to the blog. It’s been a while.  We’re trying something new today, even if it feels a bit familiar. Since our “Next Chapter of Bungie” video and blog article, we’ve been thinking about ways to keep the conversation rolling. Maintaining a transparent heartbeat of updates with you all is pivotal for the success of our studio. As such, we’re spinning up a new “Bungie Community Update” blog to keep in touch as we head into the future.  To be clear, this isn’t going to become a weekly series like a TWID/TWAB. Rather, this will be a general space for us to give updates on our studio. Sometimes we’ll talk about Destiny, other times Marathon, and every so often we may just chat about general Bungie news that needs more space than a social media post. We want to make sure that whenever we speak with you there’s a human tone and a takeaway, so we’ll want to take appropriate amounts of time between entries to get you real, meaningful news. In other words: A Bungie Community Update is never late, nor is it early; it arrives precisely when it means to. We’re also exploring more ways to get you updates on the fly. Marathon side, we’ve started a string of Dev Insights leading into Symbiosis and the March Update. These take a bit of time to film and produce, so we’re also looking into smaller, more casual spaces to have discussions. Podcasts? Livestreams? AMAs? We’ve done many of these in the past, but we need to rebuild some bones to get them up to speed again. I could talk on and on about our comms pillars and how we’ll keep chatting as we move forward into the next chapter, but I know what you’re all here for. Video games. More specifically, Bungie video games.  For October, we’re moving forward with a mainstay of Bungie: A nice ol’ blog. Today we have Josh Deane (Head of Product) here to run through some Q&A about Destiny & Unvaulting, give some context on where the studio is at right now, and talk about what’s to come. Many thanks to all who’ve been sending questions our way over the last few weeks, we hope to cover many through the answers below.  Every End is a New Beginning Welcome to the hot seat, Josh. To start, let’s set the stage. What are we focusing on today? Josh: Well, if you can’t stand the heat… I figure, let’s just have a conversation about where we’ve been and where we are on our new journey together. So, we’ll cover what ‘wholeness’ means for Destiny’s legacy, and how we’re working to reimagine Destiny’s future. Most importantly, we need to talk about how we intend to rebuild a relationship with you all, not just simply announce a future for a cheap win.  To do that I think we have to rewind the clock a bit before Monument of Triumph heading into our end of service announcement for Destiny 2. Rage Against the Dying of the Light What was the experience like heading into Monument of Triumph and watching the community respond the way they did?
