Destiny 2 ends after 9 years, announces the last update, speaks of a new beginning

Destiny 2 Zavala

Bungie will release the last update for Destiny 2 in June 2026. The shooter will then enter maintenance mode, remaining playable but with no new content.

The final update “Monument of Triumph” will be released on June 9, 2026. The developers explain in the blog that they want to create a place where players will enjoy returning.

Monument of Triumph aims to expand the annual “Moments of Triumph” event and make it a “bigger celebration”. During the event, you can earn armor ornament sets, but the update also includes many other contents, such as:

  • smaller stories to conclude the characters’ narratives
  • Pantheon 2.0 with new bosses that will remain permanently
  • an update for weapons and armors from all old raids and dungeons to bring them up to date
  • a revision of all portal activities
  • the return of the Sparrow Racing League

Seasonal events, on the other hand, will be discontinued. Instead, you can buy rewards for engrams from a vendor at the monument. You can find all contents of Monument of Triumph on the official website.

Exciting for returners, and possibly new players, is especially the new bundle: Bungie will sell all released content packs from June 9.

Bungie thanks its players, looking to the future

The official statement ends with a thank you to all players who have become part of the Destiny 2 community since its release in September 2017. The way forward is, however, clear: they want to continue making games that you want to play.

Immediately after the release of the last update, more information, deep dives, and streams about the new content will come out, before these “TWIDs” are also discontinued.

As Destiny 2 goes into retirement after nearly 9 years, the developers of the shooter write: “Every end is a new beginning.” What exactly they mean by this is not explained, but there have been long-standing speculations: Destiny 3 is likely in development, but the release is still a long way off
