Next week, Destiny 2 comes to an end. The Monument of Triumph update, releasing on June 9, marks the final release for Bungie's nine-year-old live-service behemoth. I have to admit that, when I first heard the news, I was almost relieved—over the last year I've watched the game's baffling new direction alienate almost every person I regularly played with. Thanks to the disastrous introduction of the Portal and the unravelling of the many player concessions made under the Joe Blackburn era, Destiny simply felt less fun to play.
And yet, there's one final, bitter irony now that the end is in sight: The Monument of Triumph update looks like the best Destiny 2 patch we've had in years.
