In the MMO shooter Destiny, a new patch, a new update is scheduled for this evening, June 2. The arrival of 1.2.0.2 is expected between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM.
A patch for Destiny is announced for this evening. Currently, there is no information on what it will specifically do. It is known that players will be kicked out of activities. There will be a connection loss. Players will land on the login screen, will need to install the patch before continuing, so it is said.
Between 8AM and 9AM Pacific tomorrow, our deployment of Destiny Update 1.2.0.2 will interrupt your connection. Patch Notes will soon follow.

So it is a good idea not to start any “longer” activities right now – it could end badly if you are right in the Prison of Elders, and a Nightfall interruption is painful as well.
The patch 1.2.0.2 “could” change a lot of things. There are some known bugs preventing players from receiving certain quests (Exotic bounties) or loot such as emblems, ships, or shaders (especially in the Prison of Elders). In the Trials of Osiris, there have been regular issues with matchmaking or with obvious cheating, which Bungie might address.
But not only fixing such bugs has been promised; Bungie has already hinted that they might address the “key poverty” and become more generous so that the Guardians can access the large treasure chests in the Prison of Elders more frequently.
However, it is still unknown what patch 1.2.0.2 will actually change. Maybe only something very small will happen.
A list of “possible issues to be addressed” can be found in this article. We will inform you if there is any news about the update this evening.
By the way, it is assumed that the Iron Banner will start at 7:00 PM this evening.
Update: At 5:30 PM, the servers were taken down. Standard question: “When will the Destiny servers be back?” Exceptionally, there’s an answer: The servers for Destiny are expected to be operational again within an hour. So around 6:30 PM our time, it is said. However, this has been postponed in previous patches.
5:55 PM: The servers are expected to be up again. What the patch has changed can be read in our post: Patch Notes for 1.2.0.2 in English: More keys for the Prison
