As many of you have likely heard, Destiny 2 has received its final content update and gameplay hotfix. Additionally, Bungie has been impacted by large-scale layoffs affecting much of the team that worked on Destiny 2. This is deeply upsetting news, and we encourage everyone to show their support for the developers who helped shape the worlds we've all come to love.
To every developer who has worked on the Destiny franchise over the years: thank you. Your passion, creativity, and dedication have created something truly special, and your work has left a lasting impact on millions of players around the world.
As development on the Destiny franchise winds down and the TWID enters its final chapter, we'd like to offer the community something to carry that tradition forward: the Destiny 2 Community Hub and the Community TWID.
This is a passion project - a love letter to the Destiny 2 community that we value so dearly. We want to keep the conversation alive for as long as we can and continue celebrating the incredible creativity and passion of Guardians everywhere.
Beginning the week after Bungie's final TWID, we'll be publishing our own Community TWID every week, continuing the long-standing tradition. Here's what you can expect each week:
Alongside these recurring features, each Community TWID will include a rotating Focused Category of the Week to spotlight different areas of community creativity. Some of the categories we're planning include are Build of the Week, Music of the Week, and Guide/Infographic of the Week, with more to come in the future.
To give everyone plenty of time to prepare, we'll always announce the next three focused categories in advance.
If you'd like to submit artwork, videos, or fashion for our weekly showcases, keep an eye on the Community Hub X/Twitter account for our weekly submission posts.
You can either reply directly to the submission thread or create your own post using the relevant hashtags:
Submission details for our rotating focused categories will be shared as those weeks approach.
We will begin accepting submissions for AOTW & MOTW following the final official TWID.
We've also launched our Discord server, and we'd love to have you join us.
Winners of our weekly community showcases will receive exclusive Discord roles in recognition of their efforts.
Our very first Fashion of the Week theme is:
Here are the focused categories for the first three Community TWIDs:
| Community TWID | Focused Category |
|---|---|
| Community TWID #1 | Build of the Week |
| Community TWID #2 | Guide/Infographic of the Week |
| Community TWID #3 | Music of the Week |
Submissions for future focused categories will open in the coming weeks.
That's all for now. We'll see you soon for the very first edition of the Community TWID. The future of Destiny may be uncertain, but one thing has always remained true: no matter what lies ahead, we'll face it together. Thank you all for your time.
