Author: Sheridan Media May 27, 2026 Duration: 38:18

Welcome to Active Reload! This week, James and Grant open the show discussing the surprising announcement that Bungie will be ending active development on Destiny 2 in just a few weeks. It's also being report that once the last update, "Monument of Triumph", is released Bungie will be conducting round of layoffs seemingly from the Destiny team. What does this mean for Bungie in the near future? Could Marathon also be in trouble even with the seeming incoming reinforcements?

Also, Unreal Engine 6 got a surprising reveal from Epic at the Rocket League Paris Major in which Epic announced that they would be implementing the new Engine into Rocket League as it's first test in the market. Should we be expecting a better response from UE6 than UE5, or more of the same? And, how many development teams are already working with it for upcoming games?
