Last week, Bungie dropped a bomb on the video game industry with the announcement that its nearly-decade spanning shooter, Destiny 2, is no longer in active development and would not receive any more major updates past June 9, 2026. To call it the end of an era is an understatement, but fans are already making their voice clear on what they want the studio to do next, as a petition for Destiny 3 has already garnered 180K signatures, which just so happens to be more than double the number of Marathon's peak concurrent player count on Steam. The petition began […]

Bungie has just announced that Destiny 2 is receiving its final (and free) content update on June 9, after which there will be no more expansions or additions of any other kind. The developer admitted that, following the underwhelming release of the 2024 expansion, The Final Shape, only an episode in the slow but steady decline of the online first-person shooter game, it became clear that it was time to move forward and look toward new projects, which will now begin "incubation" work.

Destiny 2 has been in a bit of an awkward spot for the past few years, with the live-service shooter having seen a notable drop in both player counts as well as reception towards the game as a whole. In a surprise move, the team at Bungie have now announced that the game’s next major Update – which was set to release in March – has been delayed by three whole months.

Taking to BlueSky to make the announcement, the official D2 page wrote the following: “Our next Major Update, Destiny 2: Shadow and Order, is undergoing large revisions and will be delayed. This update is being changed and expanded to include sizable quality-of-life updates and as a result, will also be renamed. This update will now launch on June 9, 2026.”

For now, information on the changes remain light, however Bungie did confirm that the update will still include “expanding Tiered Gear to all Raid and Dungeon activities, Pantheon 2.0, Tier 5 stats for Exotic Armors, and more.”

Unfortunately, it seems as though little is planned for the interim, with Bungie simply stating that between now and June, Destiny 2 will “continue to have routine bug fixes and stability improvements, continued portal modifiers, Guardian Games (March), and the return of a more frequent Iron Banner cadence (April).”

The team concluded by saying “Thank you for your continued patience and support. We will have more information on our next major update and future plans for Destiny 2 closer to launch.”

Sentiment surrounding Destiny has been far from great as of late, with a lack of content being one of the primary issues. Considering that Shadow and Order has now been delayed by 3 months to facilitate additional features, Bungie has to make sure that the next update is pretty much universally liked.
