Bungie ends development on Destiny 2 to focus on upcoming games
, by Thibaut
Here's the end of a journey that has spanned nine long years. Bungie's MMO FPS released back in September 2017 and will no longer get any updates.
The final patch for Destiny 2 will come out across all platforms on June 9, 2026. That being said, the game will still be playable despite the lack of new content. Since the release of the first entry back in 2014, Bungie has focused exclusively on the Destiny franchise. The American studio now will turn the page and go for Marathon and other projects still to be announced.
"For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all. Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. 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.
As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games.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.
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.
We're proud of Destiny 2, the places it took us, and the legacy it has created. Because of you all, our universe is vast, built on years of shared stories, adventures, and victories. From the Cosmodrome to the Pale Heart to the Lawless Frontier, we have forged life-long memories and friendships with you all.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made that journey with us.
From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you, and we'll see you in the stars."
