Bungie has announced it is ending live development on Destiny 2. In a blog post today, the studio said Destiny 2: Monument of Triumph—due out on June 9, 2026—will serve as the title's final live-service update.
The statement refers to 2024's The Final Shape, noting that after that expansion, "it became clear... We have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2."
The studio conducted layoffs to the tune of 17 percent of its workforce not long after The Final Shape.
The team noted it will keep Destiny 2 playable, as the original game currently is. "Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to," reads the post.
"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."
The news comes after Sony's reveal last fall that Destiny 2 was not performing to the parent company's expectations. Sony famously purchased Bungie for $3.6 billion in 2022, around five years after Destiny 2's original release.
The studio's latest game, Marathon, launched in March. It's currently sitting with "very positive" reviews on Steam.
