Bungie apologises for Destiny 2 Final Shape cutscene issues

You might have missed out on some story...

Destiny 2 The Final Shape is out now, and some players are missing out on important story beats due to errors that come with the launch of a big live service offering.

“I was wondering why the pacing felt so weird until I realised I had missed two entire cutscenes and had to look them up,” wrote one player on Reddit. “I understand and sympathise with server instability, but it feels so bad for the story experience to be harmed this much. I don’t remember this being that much of an issue with previous expansions.”

Bungie has responded with an apology.

“We built The Final Shape to be an exciting, cathartic, story-driven adventure for everyone to enjoy,” the developer wrote in a statement. “We’re truly sorry for connection issues and instability getting in the way of that experience, and we promise to keep working until these issues are resolved.”

A workaround of a sort exists: if you want to catch cutscenes that you’ve missed, you can replay missions to watch ’em. Missions one, four, five, six, and seven are the ones with important story-based cutscenes. We’ve also got The Final Shape‘s opening for you above if you missed out on that.

Destiny 2 The Final Shape is now available on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, and PS5.
