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.

Born on October 8 1970, in Kōchi Prefecture (Japan), Tetsuya Nomura is one of the most influential and recognizable character designers in the world of video games. He joined Square (now Square Enix) in the early ’90s as a debugger, but quickly rose to become the defining visual voice behind some of gaming’s biggest franchises.
His unmistakable style mixes sharp, edgy lines with wild-flowing hair, intricate outfits loaded with belts and zippers and that perfect blend of cool, emotional depth and larger-than-life presence. Nomura’s characters don’t just look stylish: they feel iconic the moment you see them.
