Destiny 2: The Final Shape Has Been Pushed Back

Bungie revealed this morning that they have pushed the release date for Destiny 2: The Final Shape all the way back to June.

Bungie dropped a new piece of news today for Destiny 2: The Final Shape, as they confirmed the content has been pushed back to a new date. In a letter from the devs, which we have for you below, the team confirmed the expansion will now be released on June 4, 2024. The shorthand is that the team needs more time to deliver the kind of update they want for the game, and not one that's been rushed out, while also delivering a bigger vision than what they originally planned. There will be content between February and June added to pad out the release, but they are firm in the decision you won't see this until June.

The Final Shape is the culmination of the first ten years of Destiny storytelling and, for Guardians everywhere, countless hours spent together. We want to honor that journey, so we're taking the time we need to deliver an even bigger and bolder vision, one that we hope will be remembered and treasured for years to come. Naturally, this change brings up questions about our upcoming release calendar. Season of the Wish begins tomorrow and will extend until the launch of The Final Shape in June. While the majority of content and narrative for Season of the Wish will run from late November to February as originally planned, the team is adding new content available for all players to jump into until the launch of The Final Shape. 

In February, this will include new weekly progression-based quests called Wishes, and the launch of Moments of Triumph with unique rewards.  Next, we're moving Guardian Games up to March with a refreshed focus on class vs. class competition. Then, beginning in April, we're delivering a two-month content update available to everyone called Destiny 2: Into the Light, which will prepare players for their Guardian's journey into the Traveler. All of this is in addition to the ongoing efforts from our PvP Strike Team, including three new PvP maps dropping in May. We know you're eager to get your hands on The Final Shape. In that sense, delays aren't fun. For our part, we are excited to have the extra time needed to bring our vision for The Final Shape to life for all of you. We're looking forward to sharing much more in April, including all-new gameplay, to showcase the significant content additions currently in development.
