Destiny 2’s final update — live coverage of the end of an era

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.

When does Monument of Triumph release?
