This Week at Shrouded - A Destiny 2 Podcast

Send us Fan Mail Destiny 2 is more active than it has been in a long time, but Bungie's major updates are effectively over. This episode asks how long the current version can keep players, clans, and matchmaking going without a real content pipeline. We also get into Bungie's layoffs, Marathon's uncertain runway, the flood of rare Destiny emblems, AI's growing role in game deve...

Send us Fan Mail Destiny had one more messy, sentimental, and surprisingly fun week to talk about. This episode covers the current bug chaos, the bigger Bungie and Sony rumors floating around, and what the future of Destiny might actually look like if support keeps shrinking. We also spend time on the good stuff too, because people are still playing, still grinding, and still finding reasons to en...

Send us Fan Mail Destiny’s final update is here, and this episode is a mix of appreciation, criticism, and a very real sense of ending. We talk through the update itself, the things that landed well, the things that still feel bad, and what it means to keep playing when the game you’ve built a lot of your life around is winding down. There’s also Pantheon, the gauntlet, Trials, the collection chan...

Send us Fan Mail This week is basically a giant Destiny update dump, and it is a lot. We go through the dev insights, TWID, the new sandbox changes, armor reworks, artifact changes, exotic tuning, and all the weird little upgrades Bungie is stuffing into the game right before the finish line. We also get into the Marathon talk, some Sony and Bungie speculation, the new reward structure, and the co...

Send us Fan Mail Destiny gets a pretty big systems refresh this week, and the episode is all about the Dev Insights breakdown. The director is getting reworked, patrol zones are getting more reasons to exist, and the Portal is getting a bunch of changes that should make reward chasing feel a lot better. We also get into the return of Gambit updates, SRL making a comeback, and the general state of...

Send us Fan Mail Destiny 2 just got news on its final content update, and this episode is basically the community processing that in real time. We go through Bungie’s June 9 update, the news around Destiny’s future, and what it means when there is no obvious next project lined up for the Destiny team. There is sadness here, but there is also a pretty massive list of stuff coming in the final updat...

Send us Fan Mail This week at Shrouded goes deep on the biggest Bungie story of the week, then pivots into Marathon Season 2 and the latest TWID housekeeping. We also cover the new creator emblems, weekend rotations, a Marathon exploit ban situation, and the usual community updates. It’s a pretty full episode overall. There’s Sony’s 120.1 billion yen Bungie write down, talk about what that might m...

Send us Fan Mail Destiny had a quiet week, but there was still plenty to talk about. In this episode, we break down the latest Commander’s Orders progress, the fixed Triple Laureate issue, the Animal Instinct emblem delivery, and what Bungie has said about the June update timing. We also get into Marathon updates, the ongoing comparison with Warframe’s communication, and a wider conversation about...

Send us Fan Mail Destiny was light this week, so the episode naturally branched out into the bigger gaming conversation. We talked about the Commander’s Orders community challenge getting bumped up to 50 million with a new emblem reward, then spent a lot of time on Warframe, Diablo 4, Arc Raiders, Final Fantasy XIV, and Subnautica. Warframe honestly ended up being the biggest story of the episode,...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Episode 147 of This Week at Shrouded. This week, Destiny has a new community challenge, a fresh charity emblem, and a little more clarity on when Bungie plans to start talking about the June update. The bigger conversation, though, is what June actually needs to be for Destiny, how much pressure is on Bungie right now, and what the current split between Destiny and Mara...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Episode 146 of This Week at Shrouded. Guardian Games has wrapped, Warlocks took the win, and the conversation immediately moved to Iron Banner. This week we talk about how Iron Banner feels right now, the new rewards, the loot pool complaints, and why even in a slower Destiny stretch there are still reasons for the community to jump in and play together. We also get int...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Episode 145 of This Week at Shrouded. This week is one of those weird in-between episodes where Destiny does not give us much to work with, so naturally the show turns into a chaotic mix of Guardian Games talk, Marathon chatter, Path of Exile drama, and pure community nonsense. It is less “huge Destiny breakdown” and more “what the hell are we even talking about now,” w...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Episode 144 of This Week at Shrouded. This week is a lighter one for raw Destiny news, but honestly, that kind of works in our favor. Guardian Games is here, Rushdown is still fun, the break from Destiny seems to have helped, and jumping back in actually felt good again. We talk about what’s working, what we’ve been enjoying, and why the vibe around playing feels a lot...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 143 of This Week at Shrouded hits a conversation a lot of players have been feeling… but not saying out loud. This week, we break down one of the biggest underlying issues in Destiny right now — not content, not difficulty… but motivation. Why are players logging in less? Why does progression feel flat? And why are even dedicated players starting to question what they’re p...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Episode 142 of This Week at Shrouded. This week is a weird one for Bungie fans. Destiny is in one of its quietest stretches right now, with barely anything meaningful coming out of the TWID, while Marathon keeps getting updates, events, creator pushes, and major marketing attention. So naturally, we spend a lot of this episode talking about where Marathon is at, how it’...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 141 shifts heavily toward Marathon. We spend most of this episode breaking down community reactions, expectations, and the ongoing comparison between Marathon and Destiny. There is a lot of noise online, and we try to separate what is real concern from what is just social media momentum. This is not a rage episode. It is a grounded discussion about where Marathon fits, how...

Send us Fan Mail Shadow & Order is officially delayed to June 9, and the Destiny community is… reacting. In Episode 140, we break down what the delay actually means, why Bungie likely made the call, and whether this was about Marathon or about not shipping another mediocre update. We also talk about the roadmap expectations, TWIDs shifting toward community activations, and the strange parasoci...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 139 is one of those weeks. There’s still no Destiny roadmap, no meaningful updates, no real communication from Bungie — and we’re left trying to figure out what we’re supposed to be doing right now. So we talk about it honestly. This episode turns into a real conversation about Bungie silence, content droughts, expectations, and what happens when a live-service game just…...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 138 is a very Destiny episode: no roadmap, a light TWID, Arms Week doing Arms Week things, and Bungie making changes that might fix one problem while creating another. We spend most of the episode talking honestly about why there’s still no roadmap, what that silence likely means, and why Bungie really needs to just say something — even if players don’t like the answer. We...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 137 is a two-game conversation — Destiny and Marathon, and the uncomfortable overlap Bungie now has to navigate. We break down Marathon’s confirmed March 5, 2026 release date, the value of its Collector’s Edition, pre-order performance, and what that timing means for Destiny’s upcoming Shadow and Order update. Then we dig into the bigger issue: Bungie’s silence, the missin...

Send us Fan Mail First episode back after the holidays — and no, Destiny didn’t behave while we were gone. 😅 We break down the latest patch fixes (Trials solo queue lobby balancing, Lawless Frontier softlocks, progression bugs), talk Arms Week 3 (Bows) and what it’ll actually feel like in PvP, and get into the bigger question: how is a new player supposed to start Destiny in 2026 without getting...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 135 is a long-form Destiny brain dump — dungeon difficulty discourse, Renegades weapons worth chasing, Dawning changes, Star Wars crossover takes, and a surprisingly convincing Marathon vid doc. We talk about what’s working, what feels off, and why Bungie might actually be cooking again… cautiously. 🎙️ In This Episode Monthly Giveaway Winners 🪙 6,000 Silver: tribaldraugr...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 134 is a long one — dungeon contest mode, Renegades marketing confusion, crossplay invasion debates, disabled weapons outrage, and a brutally honest conversation about why Destiny 2 feels easier than it’s ever been. We break down Bungie’s latest TWID, the Equilibrium dungeon contest, the Oath of the Renegades community event, and the constant tension between exclusivity, f...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 133 dives deep into Destiny 2: Renegades — the good, the bad, the Star Wars, the bugs, the fetch quests, the lightsaber, and the absolutely unhinged new ghost named Blue. This week’s show covers our full first impressions of the expansion: the story, the new characters, the campaign steps, the weapons, the activity design, the insane exotic armor bug, the portal problems,...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 132 is packed — exotic armor buffs, Call to Arms complaints, Iron Banner frustration, Bungie dev drama, and one of the funniest podcast openings we’ve had in a while. We break down the Twid, the Renegades preview, the Call to Arms scoring mess, the community meltdown, and why Destiny difficulty feels completely upside down right now. 🎙️ In This Episode: 🎁 Monthly Giveaway...
