Many Bungie devs reportedly had no idea Destiny 2 was about to stop receiving future updates. According to several reports, many employees were still actively working on new content when the announcement was made public, and most of the studio learned of it at the same time as players.
The reports claim Bungie leadership had already decided internally to end active development earlier this year, while some teams continued building future Destiny 2 content.
Bungie confirmed that Destiny 2 will remain online and playable after its final major update in June 2026, but new live-service development for the game is ending after almost 10 years.
They will focus in Marathon, a game that lost almost all its players and is now even more hated by Bungie fans. The game has its days counted.
