Serious expectations were pinned on the major Destiny 2: Shadow and Order update, which was supposed to rework the core systems and give the project a new impetus.
However, Bungie has confirmed the delay. The update is undergoing "major changes" and will only be released on June 9, 2026. The developers stated that they are "modifying and expanding" the content, adding significant quality improvements, and also plan to change the name to better reflect the scale of the changes.
The community's reaction was harsh: comments about a "last chance" and statements that "Destiny 2 is dead" appeared under the official statement. Against this background, the opinion is increasingly voiced that the studio's priorities have shifted towards Marathon, and Destiny 2 has faded into the background.
