Destiny 2 will no longer receive new content. This was followed by numerous layoffs within Bungie. But that does not mean the definitive end of the MMO shooter.
What hope is there? On the evening of July 7, 2026, a new Patch for Destiny 2 was released, which brought several bug fixes. Timers were adjusted, and shells that were previously denied to some players were now available.
The update is quite substantial, which is why a player reached out to the Destiny 2 development team to ask if this was the very last patch. On X, dmg04, the Principal Comms Manager of Destiny 2, replied that there could indeed be more to come:
We may take unscheduled actions for highest priority issues (game crashes). There will still be downtimes for general server maintenance and upkeep. If the opportunity arises, minor fixes may be made here and there.
With a lot, the community can no longer count on. But it is also nice to know that Destiny 2 will not simply be neglected during unplayable crashes, but that it is still being taken care of.
Operations will continue with minimal staffing
Why was that even a question? Bungie recently initiated a restructuring, which came with numerous layoffs. Several teams were affected, including those from Destiny 2 and Marathon. Even several employees from Sony, who support Bungie, are impacted.
Work is still ongoing on Marathon, Bungie assured. And it seems there are at least life-supporting measures in place for Destiny 2.
