Pre-Event Workshop Day - Monday 8th September

2:00 PM Workshop 3 – From Legacy to Live: What Destiny 2 Teaches Us About Thriving IPs

This workshop examines how legacy IPs can not only survive but thrive as live service games, grounding the conversation in a consumer-driven, expert analysis of Bungie’s Destiny 2. Presented by Michael Schade, CEO of ROCKFISH Games and an unabashed Destiny 2 superfan, this data-driven session brings together the perspectives of a player, an industry watcher, and a studio founder inspired by the lessons learned from Bungie’s blockbuster sci-fi shooter for his own space combat series, EVERSPACE. Dig deeper into:

  • Analysing player-centric design choices that keep legacy IPs relevant in live service ecosystems.
  • Translating lessons from Destiny 2 into actionable strategies for long-term engagement and monetisation.
  • Bridging fan insight with studio leadership to inspire innovation in future game development.
