Ikora's last message
Over the last few weeks, many people who worked on Destiny 2 across the years have been sharing their feelings about the game and its impending end. Here's Mara Junot, voice actor for Ikora Rey, with an apropos goodbye.
Junot had the unenviable job of replacing Gina Torres as the voice of Ikora back in 2021, and did an admirable job—nailing the character's personality and mannerisms. As a Warlock main, Ikora was always my favourite of the Vanguard. Here they deliver a pitch perfect farewell, which is making me feel a lot of things.

Destiny 2 is about to go down for pre-patch maintenance. Per Bungie's support team, here's when you'll be able to get back in:
- Pre-load begins: 10 am PDT, 1 pm EDT, 6 pm BST
- Monument of Triumph is live: 11 am PDT, 2 pm EDT, 7 pm BST
That's assuming no delays or server queues, at least.
On Steam, we're looking at a 28.4 GB patch, which is appropriately chunky given everything we're expecting from the update.
