It has been an eventful week for Bungie, with significant developments in both its long-standing flagship game, Destiny 2, and its first non-Destiny project in ten years, Marathon. The developer made exciting announcements regarding Marathon’s reveal at the recent PlayStation Showcase event.
During the showcase, Bungie also dropped a short teaser for The Final Shape, announcing the upcoming Destiny Showcase, which is scheduled for August 22, 2023. The new teaser sees a return of a beloved Destiny character, Cayde-6, who died in the Forsaken expansion.
