what a beautiful day!

[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

Guardians make their own fate

[Destiny 2 Team @Destiny2Team]

Variety is the key. Cycle in for some 6 player activities. Hop over to Gambit. Play a couple strikes. Look at PvP. Go back to PvE. Play a Raid. Play a Dungeon. Play some Onslaught. Look at PvP again and actually play it this time. Etc.

So much loot to earn. Have some fun with it.

See you tomorrow morning for more dev insights.

Thank you for today.

@nnarum We appreciate you - ALL of you.

Many of us on the team will be on the Tower on June 9 to visit Monument of Triumph with you.

While we're confident the servers won't crash, we've seen some posts floating around. Our Operations Center is prepared for the challenge.

[dmg04 @A_dmg04]

Monument of Triumph articles coming soon.

Expect our first Dev Insight tomorrow, followed by Dev Insight 2 and the TWID on Friday.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out. Thank you to everyone who’s been sharing what Destiny means to them.

Passing these along to the team as they roll in. Photos, videos, art pieces, everything.

Your stories mean the world to all of us. Thank you.

Saying goodbye to Destiny 2 hurts because I'm not just leaving a game behind but a version of my life I can never return to. https://t.co/sco5To6PPR

‘DESTINY AWAITS’

-Halo ODST, 2009

This would be the very first teaser for the game we’d go on to call home for twelve years.

[Luke Smith @thislukesmith]

At its best, content was a machine to create memories and friendships. No new content stings.

This pain is about losing a place where so many memories were made. It stings not because of what it was, but the realization of what it won't be.

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.

Destiny 2 is ending. All expansions cancelled. No more content updates after this last one. It's over.

My sweet cat, my companion Nomu suddenly passed today.

Truly, if there is a God you actually made a being worth feeling this pain I feel.

She was a beacon of love & comfort from a kitten to 9 years.

Thank you for spending your life with me.

I love you forever.
