Destiny 2, after its main storyline concluded with The Final Shape DLC, has also fallen on very hard times, bleeding players and all-around sentiment surrounding the title at a low point.<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile insert insert-label\">\n<div id=\"inject-primis-player\" data-src-primis=\"https:\/\/live.primis.tech\/live\/liveView.php?s=117168&amp;vp_content=plembed39b4tigwxqjz&amp;cbuster=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&amp;playerApiId=primis_player_float&amp;schain=1.0,1!ziffdavis.com,22392450815,1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As a result of those failings, Sony has recorded an &#8220;impairment loss against a portion of the assets at Bungie&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Lin Tao, the CFO and Corporate Executive Officer at Sony, shared the comment as part of the Q&amp;A section in today&#8217;s Q2 financials call for fiscal year 2025. Tao&#8217;s full quote reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Regarding Destiny 2, partially due to the changes in the competitive environment, the level of sales and user engagement have not reached the expectations we had at the time of the acquisition of Bungie. While we will continue to make improvements, we downwardly revised the business projection for the time being, and recorded an impairment loss against a portion of the assets at Bungie.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- cache: html:pushsquare.com\/ssl\/related-articles:132165,192283 @ 1762858807 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\">\n<header class=\"widget-header\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Articles\"><\/span>Related Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"body\">\n<div class=\"object-related-list\">\n<article class=\"object-related-article\">\n<p class=\"object-related-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/3504679252d27\/150x90.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"90\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Sony and Bungie Will Create a Live Service Centre of Excellence Once Acquisition Closes\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"object-related-info\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"News_Sony_and_Bungie_Will_Create_a_Live_Service_Centre_of_Excellence_Once_Acquisition_Closes\"><\/span><span class=\"category accent\">News<\/span> <span class=\"title\">Sony and Bungie Will Create a Live Service Centre of Excellence Once Acquisition Closes<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagline\">New department to oversee PlayStation&#8217;s fresh direction<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"object-related-article\">\n<p class=\"object-related-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/d7332c966b152\/150x90.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"90\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Sony's Acquisition of Bungie Continues to Be Questioned as Destiny 2 Falls Off a Cliff\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"object-related-info\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"News_Sonys_Acquisition_of_Bungie_Continues_to_Be_Questioned_as_Destiny_2_Falls_Off_a_Cliff\"><\/span><span class=\"category accent\">News<\/span> <span class=\"title\">Sony&#8217;s Acquisition of Bungie Continues to Be Questioned as Destiny 2 Falls Off a Cliff<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagline\">Again<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<p>A few months ago, it was confirmed Bungie will be integrated into PlayStation Studios so Sony can have more control of the developer.
