Bungie Ends Active Development of Destiny 2 With Final Update on June 9

The Monument of Triumph overhaul is designed to restore classic systems and consolidate loot so the game remains playable after new content stops.

Overview

  • Bungie confirmed that active development of Destiny 2 will end and that Monument of Triumph, arriving June 9, will be the game's last new content drop.
  • Monument of Triumph reintroduces the Director, gives patrol destinations tiered loot, adds hourly 'Distortions' events, revives Sparrow Racing League, and refreshes dozens of weapons and loot pools.
  • Bungie says Destiny 2 servers will stay online indefinitely and that its operations team is prepared for a large player influx on June 9.
  • Players have launched petitions and planned online rallies calling for a Destiny 3 or continued support, with fan petitions topping the hundreds of thousands of signatures.
  • Reporting based on unnamed sources says Bungie is reallocating some Destiny 2 staff to Marathon and that layoffs are expected, a shift tied to business pressures and the decision not to greenlight a Destiny 3.
