Bungie ends active development of Destiny 2

The end of eras.

Bungie has today announced that it will end active development of Destiny 2 following its last live service update on 9 June.

“While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2,” Bungie said in an update.

“As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games,” the update continued. “To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio.”

Bungie continued on to thank players, and promised that the game — which has removed prior content in the past — will remain “playable”.

“Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to.”

RIP, Destiny 2. You probably shouldn’t have existed and Bungie should have just supported the original Destiny as planned.
