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

Using AI, promoting Trump as “brave” and a “savior.” Advertising “illegal humans” as “aliens” with a link that sends you to an ICE tip line? Actually fuck off. Disgusting.
Ive never really talked about this, but I had been dating this girl since my sophomore year of high school. When it came time to graduate we picked different places for college and ended up hundreds of miles apart.
We wanted to try long distance and see if we could make it work, to us we believed that what we had was love and that we could beat the odds, and a multi year relationship was nothing to give up on without trying anyway…
It was so difficult those first few weeks. Going from a short drive and being able to see each other every day to only feeling each other’s presence through texts on a screen or a voice through a phone is such a cold contrast to the warmth and comfort you get when you are physically next to your partner.
We tried everything to make it easier: sending physical letters sprayed with our cologne’s or perfumes, worn sweatshirts that had our scent, even falling asleep together on facetime every night just to feel that connection. It was still agonizing.
Eventually, the rise of iron expansion released for destiny and we decided that we should try playing it together. What started as a one night date idea turned into countless hours of playing together night after night after night.
Despite being so far away from each other, seeing her guardian and her seeing mine made an indescribable difference. Our digital characters were a catalyst to manifesting each other’s presence right next to each other despite what felt like being on different sides of the world. We experienced every story, every adventure, every strike and every raid together over and over and over.
Fast forward through four years of playing destiny together to feel connected and before I know it, I’m graduating, I get my first job offer, and we move in together in a tiny little downtown cincinnati apartment. Half a decade later, we own a house together and she is my wife.
I don’t know if we would’ve made it through those four years without destiny. I’d like to think that we would have, but either way, it made everything so so so much easier.
Even if no decisions are changed, no minds are convinced, and the destiny franchise is well and truly on its way to its final resting place with no destiny 3 ever to take place, it will always live on, for me, through her.
Darkness descends on Tau Ceti IV. Season 2 begins June 2.

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.
