Multiple reports say Bungie will stop developing new content for Destiny 2 after a final June 9 update, with the game remaining live but no longer receiving expansions. Bloomberg sources and local reports indicate Sony is preparing major layoffs at Bungie as several proposed follow-up projects failed to gain approval and Destiny 2’s commercial performance weakened. Insiders frame the move as part of broader cost-control measures across publishers, including price changes and staffing cuts. Bungie says it will shift to incubating new projects, but details and timelines remain unclear amid uncertainty for studio staff and the franchise’s future.
Bungie announced Destiny 2 will stop receiving online-service updates and expansions after a final “Moment of Triumph” patch on June 9, 2026; servers will remain online in a maintenance mode but no new seasons or story DLCs will be produced. Sony reportedly wrote down $565 million related to Bungie assets, signaling the publisher’s decision to halt further Destiny 2 development while Bungie shifts focus to new projects like PvP shooter Midnight Marathon. Fans reacted with shock and organized a Change.org petition calling for Sony and Bungie to greenlight Destiny 3; the petition has gathered over 319,000 signatures and players plan a coordinated mass login on June 9 to pressure Sony. The developer’s strategic pivot and community outcry matter for industry relations, live-service economics and studio priorities.

Bungie announced that Destiny 2 will receive its final content update, “Triumph Monument,” on June 9; after that the game will continue to run but receive no further content updates as the studio shifts to incubating new projects. Bloomberg sources say Sony does not plan to greenlight Destiny 3 and is preparing major layoffs at Bungie amid an industry-wide cost-control push. Insiders report multiple proposed Bungie projects failed to secure approval or enter development. The moves follow disappointing Destiny 2 commercial and engagement performance and reflect broader publisher strategies of price increases and cost cuts to manage spending.
