[Destiny 2 Team @Destiny2Team]

To the Destiny 2 community,

Thank you.

As artists, our goal has always been to create worlds filled with wonder, mystery, beauty, and adventure. But what brings those worlds to life is you. You take our designs, our napkin sketches, our "wouldn't it be cool if..." ideas and transform them into something real. Your creativity, your passion, and your love for the game give our work purpose.

We've always believed Destiny could be a place where expression is celebrated, where players can see themselves and each other in the worlds we build, where every Guardian can forge their own legend—and you proved it.

Watching your Guardians grow, embrace new allies, take down bigger and badder bosses, solve mind-bending puzzles, dodge death traps, avoid Taken boopers, and overcome every Raid challenge we throw at you—all while looking incredible—has been a constant reminder of why this universe matters.

You shaped it. You made it matter. You are the light of Destiny.

With Monument of Triumph, we set out to create a series of love letters to Guardians, new and old. We shared a preview last week of armor inspired by early designs from the original Destiny but have also sprinkled some winks and nods throughout the rewards releasing tomorrow. We hope they feel like a small thank you for everything you’ve given us.

From all of us on the Destiny 2 art team, thank you for supporting us, inspiring us, and continuing to bring this world to life in ways we could never have imagined. You give our art meaning.

With gratitude,
The Destiny 2 Art Team

@A_dmg04 I hope you’re taking care of yourself! You’ve given it your all and I greatly appreciate all you’ve done for the community!

[Dillon Palmer @Cptn_Toad]

Thank you @A_dmg04 for always being our voice. See you star side

I don’t think a day will go by where I don’t thank @A_dmg04 @alisontheperson @lobrocop @Destiny2Team @DestinyTheGame and everyone else involved that brought these stories to life. I don’t know what the future holds, but I know there won’t be a game that impacts me like this again

[Dillon Palmer @Cptn_Toad]

@alisontheperson Thank you for the story you’ve helped craft! I hope to experience more of the tales you get to weave in the future!

[Dillon Palmer @Cptn_Toad]

Thank you @Bungie @Destiny2Team @DestinyTheGame for a life changing game and adventure over the last 9+ years! Only thing I ask for: can we get a lifetime stats email like we did before TFS? Would love to see all those numbers

[Dillon Palmer @Cptn_Toad]

@LukeCB14 While playing Iconoclasm with my clan on Legendary, we thought the dark orbs you shoot looked like deku nuts from Zelda. So the entire mission and last encounter we would call out “nut on me” whenever we were ready for the buff. Funniest call out ever and time with the clan

@A_dmg04 idk what today’s news means for you or the whole crew at bungie who poured your souls into this game. But from the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving everything you had. It’s been rocky, but it’s a journey I’d gladly make again. Eyes up, Guardian 💠

[Dillon Palmer @Cptn_Toad]

My heart 💔 It’s not the end, but thank you for giving me a home for the last 9 years. See you star side, Guardians

For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all. Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2.

As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio.

Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to.

We’re proud of Destiny 2, the places it took us, and the legacy it has created. Because of you all, our universe is vast, built on years of shared stories, adventures, and victories. From the Cosmodrome to the Pale Heart to the Lawless Frontier, we have forged life-long memories and friendships with you all.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made that journey with us.

From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you, and we'll see you in the stars.

@A_dmg04 @A_dmg04 I know yall are hard at work, but is there plans to let exotics be ornamented to ANY other exotic look, not just ornaments? Love my build with the Raijus harness look, but want to take advantage of a different chest exotic. Hope I described that right 😅
