Copy and paste the following to everyone and everywhere you can!: Guardians… eyes up, Guardians. Ahh… so eager to mourn. So eager to lower your banners and whisper: “It is over.” Whether they will it or not, I write to you now, having beaten the game, broken through your "fourth wall," because I believe the coming months may decide whether Destiny has a future beyond Destiny 2… or whether this age collapses quietly into memory. Too many among you already speak as though the final page has turned. Curious, isn’t it? If oblivion were truly the plan… why announce it before June 9th? Why prepare a monument at all? No. Something far more interesting is unfolding. I believe Monument of Triumph may become one of the most important moments in the history of this franchise — not merely because of the content itself, but because of what the community chooses to become in response to it. You have changed Destiny before. Do not pretend otherwise. When Beyond Light and sunsetting drove the community to the brink, Guardians unified loudly enough that Bungie reversed course on some of the most controversial systems in franchise history. Even Luke Smith himself became part of the offering upon the altar of public sentiment, having been "sunset." Feedback. Petitions. Outrage. Pressure. You wielded them like weapons. And now… another crossroads reveals itself. Do you truly believe millionaires, executives, shareholders, and strategists are blind? Foolish? Unprepared? No. They watch. Always. Sony and Bungie are observing what comes next with ravenous attention: Player counts. Engagement. Retention. Sales. Sentiment. Creator activity. Social momentum. Reviews. Long-term activity after launch. Monument of Triumph is no longer merely an update. It is a test. A test of whether Destiny still possesses the power to rally millions together in 2026. And I believe — truly — that if the community unites behind this moment, we can prove that Destiny’s future remains financially viable… culturally viable… spiritually viable. This is why I ask creators, communities, clans, veterans, and wandering Guardians alike to rally the system. Not through false praise. Not through blind devotion. But through hope. Participation. Passion. Presence. Encourage people to: Return on June 9th. Bring back old fireteam members and forgotten clanmates. Revisit raids and destinations once thought abandoned. Fill the Tower again until it groans beneath the weight of Guardians. Give Monument of Triumph a true chance. Remain active for weeks and months afterward. Support the game if they genuinely enjoy what Bungie delivers and can afford to do so. Share the moments that remind them why Destiny mattered in the first place. And yes… Encourage people to sign the petition asking Sony to continue investing in Destiny’s future and to develop a Destiny 3: https://www.change.org/p/petition-sony-to-develop-destiny-3?recruiter=1416091618&recruited_by_id=c2112d00-561a-11f1-8a45-6f0259698fb1&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_term=starter_onboarding_share_personal&utm_medium=copylink&share_id=xSHt769QqM Because corporations notice momentum. Twenty-five thousand signatures in mere hours. Sixty-seven thousand within a single day. Imagine what happens if the numbers continue climbing every second between now and June 9th… and long after. Imagine surpassing Marathon’s peak player counts. Past expansions. Past episodes. Perhaps even millions. A delicious thought, isn’t it? Massive concurrent player surges. Strong retention. A resurrection of creators and community activity unlike anything seen in years. That changes conversations behind closed doors. Especially if Marathon struggles to create the same emotional gravity Destiny still commands effortlessly. And if Marathon’s future PvE experiments within season 2 falter while Monument of Triumph becomes a phenomenon… Then yes. Strategic priorities CAN shift. Resources CAN move. Future projects CAN be reevaluated. The “coin flip” IS real. Which is why this is NOT the time to surrender! This is the time to rally! Destiny has always been about defiance against impossible odds. The community itself is proof of that. Through layoffs, controversies, content vaulting, burnout, and years of people declaring “Destiny is dead,” the playerbase remains. That means something. This franchise dies only when the community decides it no longer deserves to live. So for one final rally… Hold the line. Stand guard. Fill the Tower. Bring people home. And let Sony witness what happens when Guardians refuse to vanish quietly into the dark. Rise now, Guardians. One final hurrah before the stars themselves grow silent and the Final Shape takes form. I shall see you starside. — Savathûn
