Destiny 2 has just about reached its final destination. Nearly nine years after the game's initial release, Bungie is ending active development on the live-service shooter. Its last content update, Monument of Triumph, will arrive on June 9.
The final live-service update will include changes designed to make the game "a welcoming place for players to return to." Despite the lack of updated content beyond that, Bungie plans to keep the game's servers online indefinitely, similar to the original game.

The studio finally got Marathon out the door this March, but only after a delay. Even with the extra development time, reviews have been mixed. Love it or hate it, Marathon doesn't appear to be the massive, runaway hit the studio was hoping for. What's next? Bungie says it will begin "incubating [its] next games."

Cave Creek Mayor Robert Morris warns that local water conservation efforts in the Phoenix-area town of 5,000 will be insufficient against long-term Colorado River shortages driven by climate change and overuse, as federal initiatives and interstate negotiations fail to provide relief, with reservoirs at record lows and farmers reluctant to plant due to uncertainty.
