Wolverine and God of War: Laufey were supposed to rescue Sony's year. One shipped to a divided 78, the other turned out to be dated February 16, 2027 — landing precisely on the far edge of the GTA 6 crater. That placement is the real story.
Bungie's final update landed on June 9, and the game stays online. But Shattered Cycle and The Alchemist were planned and cancelled, and the farewell patch is a repurposed content drop. This ending was scheduled, not written.
