IGN sat down with Bungie’s Luke Smith to talk more about Destiny’s Endgame. Read the entire article here on IGN. I think Destiny’s endgame begins as soon as you see the way the story ends. As soon as you see the way we wrap up the sort of first piece of the adventure that we’re going to tell because we want to set you back out into the world to keep going.
