Bungie will provide one final update to wrap things up.
Destiny 2 has just reached its final destination. Nearly nine years after the game’s initial release, Bungie is ending active development of the live-action shooter. Its latest content update, Triumph Monumentwill arrive on June 9.
The latest live service update will include changes designed to make the game “a welcoming place for players.” Despite the lack of updated content, Bungie plans to keep the game’s servers online indefinitely, like in the original game.
This decision comes after a difficult period for Bungie. It experienced two waves of layoffs (in 2023 and 2024) following its acquisition in 2022 by Sony. The studio finally got Marathon out the door in March, but only with some delay. Even with the additional development time, reviews were mixed. Love it or hate it, Marathon doesn’t appear to be the massive, runaway success the studio was hoping for. What’s next? Bungie says it will begin “incubating[its]next games.”
At least Destiny 2The final update looks pretty big. After listening to player feedback, Bungie brings back the Director and pushes the much-maligned portal to the node menus at the bottom of the screen. A new permanent Pantheon mode will be added (including a new boss list). And all raid and dungeon gear is updated to modern standards. Bungie’s blog post explaining the decision includes a lot more detail on the Triumph Monument update.
