Bungie Ends New Content for Destiny 2 After June Updates
Bungie announced that Destiny 2 will receive final updates in June before entering maintenance mode. The studio will shift focus to Marathon following a six-month content gap.
ForbesBungie announced that Destiny 2 will stop receiving new expansions after June and will move into maintenance mode. The studio plans a handful of final updates this month, including tiered loot, a Moments of Triumph event, and Sparrow racing. The decision follows a six-month period without new content.
Bungie stated that players will be the first to know if additional Destiny news is released, but no sequel was announced.
2 reached lifetime peaks during its Light and Darkness era two years ago. The studio later reduced its content schedule to two small expansions and two smaller updates, which it was unable to sustain for a full year.
Hundreds of developers were reassigned from Destiny 2 to Marathon. The extraction shooter recorded below-expectation launch numbers and lower player counts than Destiny 2 during its current content drought. 9 billion valuation for the studio. The company has conducted layoffs at Bungie even during periods of high Destiny 2 player numbers.
The midseason update still scheduled for release will focus on quality-of-life changes and older content reprises. Record-low player counts have already been reported in recent months.
