Destiny 2 Accidentally Releases Unfinished Rite of the Nine Content Early

Bungie briefly enabled incomplete dungeons and untextured loot ahead of the event's scheduled April launch, disabling them hours later.

Rite of the Nine, a major Destiny 2 event scheduled for April 1, was unintentionally made available on March 11 following extended maintenance.
Players accessed three dungeons—Prophecy, Spire of the Watcher, and Ghosts of the Deep—along with untextured, placeholder weapons and mismatched perks.
A total of 266 dungeon clears were recorded before Bungie disabled the content, citing its incomplete state and apologizing for the mistake.
The event is intended to feature three difficulty levels, including a teaching mode and a contest mode with Adept loot, which were not fully implemented in the accidental release.
Bungie attributed the mishap to ongoing challenges, including reduced staffing and resource allocation toward other projects like Marathon.
