Bungie has announced that it will end active development of its popular live-service shooter, Destiny 2, on June 9. This decision comes nearly nine years after the game's initial release. The final update, named Monument of Triumph, aims to create a more welcoming environment for returning players. Although no new content will be added after this update, Bungie will keep the game's servers online indefinitely, akin to the original Destiny. The announcement follows a challenging period for Bungie, which included two rounds of layoffs in 2023 and 2024 after its acquisition by Sony in 2022. The studio recently launched Marathon, but the game has received mixed reviews, not achieving the overwhelming success anticipated. The Monument of Triumph update will reintroduce the Director and relocate the Portal to node menus at the bottom of the screen. Additionally, it will introduce a new Pantheon mode featuring a fresh set of bosses, alongside updates to all raid and dungeon gear to meet modern standards. Bungie's blog post elaborates on the details of this significant update, marking the end of an era for Destiny 2 players.
