Bungie has announced that it will be releasing the final content update for Destiny 2 next month, as it moves to begin a “new journey as a studio”.

The final update, Monument of Triumph, releases on June 9th, and is described as a “collection of love letters to players”, featuring many requested updates and content additions across the story, raids, dungeons and loot.

Monument of Triumph will also introduce a newly refreshed version of the Director, which “returns to its rightful place as the center of activities in D2.”

“For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all,” a statement from Bungie reads. 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.”

The statement continues: “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.”

Today’s news comes at a troubling time for Bungie, with declining player numbers and lower than expected expansion sales contributing to a huge $765 million impairment loss for parent company Sony.

Bungie’s most recent release, Marathon, has also struggled to establish a solid player base since it launched back in March, although the potential financial impact of this is yet to be seen.
