Bungie Delays Destiny 2’s ‘Shadow and Order’ to June 9 as Major Rework Gets New Name

Bungie promises feature specifics closer to June, with live events filling the gap.

Overview

  • The update is "undergoing large revisions" and will be renamed, moving its launch from March 3 to June 9.
  • Planned details to be outlined nearer release include Weapon Tier Upgrading, expanded Tiered Gear for all raids and dungeons, Pantheon 2.0, and Tier 5 stats for Exotic armor.
  • Through June, Bungie will prioritize routine bug fixes, stability improvements, portal modifiers, Guardian Games in March, and a more frequent Iron Banner cadence beginning in April.
