Destiny 2 has been struggling with one bug after another in recent months. One developer knows that they have to take responsibility for it.
What is the problem with Destiny 2? On July 15, 2025, the major expansion “The Edge of Fate” was released in Destiny 2, bringing some major changes to the loot shooter:
- A new mission hub called “Portal”
- Overhaul of the armor system with Armor 3.0 and change of stats
- Introduction of weapon and gear tiers
But with the many changes came some problems, such as a sword glitch that melted bosses, or a bug in the stats of your armor that caused the cooldown of grenades and melee attacks not to function as intended with the “Armor 3.0” change.
In anticipation of the upcoming “Renegades” expansion, Robbie Stevens, Assistant Game Director of Destiny 2, gave an interview to the online magazine Rogue [former employees of Polygon]. In this interview, Stevens also discussed the current situation of the game, where players are confronted with many issues.
What exactly does the developer say? Stevens explains in the interview that a large part of “The Edge of Fate” and everything that came after this year resulted from the fact that players were asking for new things. They wanted change in the game, new things, and new ways to play the game. They wanted to accommodate this request but perhaps went too far:
And what we have to admit is that there are probably parts of the game where we went too far and changed too much too quickly. And with that comes a price, and that price is how much we have to respond to those things that aren’t working because of the volume of our changes.
Even though Stevens seems convinced that some changes worked really well, he admits that they have to and had to face some problems that arose from these changes.
Overall, the team is trying its best to make the game feel different in the right way. The goal is ultimately to create a fun experience for the players.
What changes does the developer think are good? As an example of successful changes, Stevens mentions the set bonuses and the Tier 5 weapons, even though these have also created a new problem.
On December 2, 2025, the next expansion of Destiny 2, Renegades, will arrive. However, this is not the only thing currently being developed at Bungie. Recently, leakers spread an interesting piece of news for the future of the franchise: Destiny 3 is reportedly in development, but the release is still a long way off
