Destiny 1 Bungie has now slashed the price of all Destiny 1 content in a single bundle to $20, where yes, those servers are in fact still online despite the vast majority of the playerbase over on Destiny 2 the past seven years. This conversation about a remaster began with a pretty innocuous comment from community manager DMG saying he was happy to “pass along the feedback” about a full-on Destiny 1 remastered content package, possibly with modern day QoL changes like say, mantling, for one, which it’s hard to believe the game never used to have. While I get that it’s more than popular for old games to get remasters at this point, this makes less sense than most.
Bungie has spent years porting large portions of Destiny 1 into Destiny 2 to the point where all that’s really left is...
not much, frankly. Destiny 1 I just don’t quite get the point. Even with some QoL features, Bungie is not going to completely rebalance the game with say, Destiny 2 subclass kits, nor modern versions of weapons and armor with way more perks and features.
I love Destiny 1 as much as anyone, but a combination of people looking at it with rose glasses and most of the best Destiny 1 content in Destiny 2 already, I don’t think this would be worth the time and energy.

They have the entire staff, which has suffered hundreds of layoffs, working on future Destiny 2 content, which is already shrinking, plus Marathon, which is likely to miss its 2025 release date. If this idea was to happen it would probably need to be wholly outsourced. I’m not saying I’d never play it, I just don’t think logistically this makes much sense on any level.
