Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney weighed in on Destiny 2 after Bungie said it was halting new development for the shooter. The decision has already pushed players and creators to think about what comes next, including the questions raised in what comes after Bungie’s final update.
The comment followed a Forbes report from June 29, 2026 that said Destiny 2 had to keep producing a huge amount of content nonstop and was only rarely profitable. In response, Sweeney wrote on X that “If only some sort of newfangled technology could come along and make it possible to overcome bullet point #1 and enable games like Destiny to thrive!”
Sweeney’s remark puts AI back into the center of a larger debate about live-service production, cost, and how much content a long-running game can keep asking for before the model starts to crack.
