Destiny 2: The Final Shape was first unveiled in August with a February 27, 2024 release date. Unsurprisingly, Bungie has now confirmed a delay for the expansion. At the end of October, Bungie laid off a number of staff, and a report from Bloomberg claimed that both Destiny 2: The Final Shape and Bungie’s next game, Marathon, had been delayed. Now, Bungie has made the expansion’s delay official by giving The Final Shape a new June 4 release date. “The Final Shape is the culmination of the first ten years of Destiny storytelling and, for Guardians everywhere, countless hours spent together,” the Destiny 2 dev team said in a blog post. “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.”The blog post goes on to say that Bungie will reveal more on The Final Shape in April, but to keep players satiated until then Season of the Wish, which begins today, “will extend until the launch of The Final Shape in June.” Bungie says that the majority of content and narrative for Season of the Wish will run from late November to February as originally planned but the team is also adding new content available for all players until the release 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.”Earlier this month, Bungie admitted it had lost the community’s trust and acknowledged feedback and concerns about Destiny 2’s Lightfall expansion and recent seasons. The team has promised to make The Final Shape an “unforgettable Destiny experience.”
