Read the full blog at bung.ie/d2_may_21_2026 For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all. Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2. As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio. Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to. 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. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made that journey with us. From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you, and we'll see you in the stars.

Marathon’s game director @Ziegler_Dev reflects on the journey so far and the weird and wild path ahead. Here’s the gist of it: 🔹With the first season of Marathon we’ve created a strong core community. 🔹We're embarking on a multi-season journey built around growing from the seed of this strong community. 🔹We’re looking to solve some pain points for players: * Making the game less grindy, more rewarding * Making improvements to things like the UI/UX, matchmaking, end game meta, playing as solos/duos, etc. * Smoothing out onboarding 🔹We’re also going to build out more of the core game: * Adding new fun and mind-bending content: new and updated zones, Runner shells, new combatants, weapons, loot, and more * Building systems to make progressing more interesting 🔹We want to build more survival experiences for different moods, like if you want to full sweat or lean back and chill. * Exploring more pure PVP, PVE, and PVP-lite experiences * Continue experimenting with experimental queues to learn more around these experiences Other highlights: 🔹We're bringing back Duos for Season 2 with a rotating Duos queue. 🔹We're testing some experiments in Season 2 around PVE and PVP-Lite modes. 🔹We’re expanding the max size of your Vault and increasing faction progression rates in Season 2. 🔹We’ll talk more about Season 2 content like Night Marsh, the new Cradle progression system, and the Runner shell Sentinel, the week of May 25.

Sony CFO Lin Tao says earnings from Bungie did not meet expectations, but player reception to Marathon has been strong and they will continue to support it! “In our studio business, earnings from Bungie's title portfolio did not reach our expectations, so we downwardly revised our business plan and impaired the full amount of the fixed assets related to Bungie except for goodwill. Player reception to Marathon is strong, with the game receiving a Metacritic score of 82 and more than 90% of the player reviews on Steam being positive. Engagement metrics such as retention also remain at a high level. Going forward, we aim to improve the performance of the game by working to retain highly engaged core users through the introduction of additional content, further improvements in the gameplay experience and expansion of the user base.”
