Bungie Ends Active Development on Destiny 2, Final Update Set for June 9

The studio says it will preserve the live game as a bundled product while shifting teams to incubate new projects.

Overview

  • Bungie announced a final live‑service update called Monument of Triumph that will launch on June 9, 2026, and mark the end of active development for Destiny 2.
  • Monument of Triumph will bundle a wide set of planned changes including a restored Director interface, a Portal overhaul, a permanent Pantheon with rotating bosses, the return of Sparrow Racing League, and broad loot, raid and ability revisions.
  • On launch day Bungie will sell Destiny 2 as Destiny 2: The Collection and permanently discount standalone expansions and content packs.
  • The studio said Destiny 2 servers will remain online as it reallocates staff to incubate new games and to support Marathon, and no Destiny 3 announcement was made.
  • Coverage links the decision to falling player numbers, prior unpopular updates, internal layoffs and Sony impairment charges, which outlets say helped drive Bungie’s pivot and will shape the studio’s next steps.
