Destiny 2’s The Final Shape Delayed Until June 4th

Release Date Pushed Back for Ambitious New Chapter

The eagerly anticipated release date for The Final Shape, the next major chapter in the iconic sci-fi shooter game Destiny 2, has been postponed by developer Bungie from 2023 to June 4, 2024. This additional development time will allow Bungie to fully realize its creative vision and deliver an update worthy of commemorating a decade of acclaimed Destiny storytelling.

While the delay may come as a disappointment to fans, Bungie promises the additional seasons leading up to the release will feature exciting new quests, gameplay modes, and rewards to discover. This was probably expected, seeing after the mass-layoffs that hit Bungie a few weeks ago.

Bridging the Wait with New Seasonal Content

The road to The Final Shape officially begins with the upcoming Season of the Wish coming later today. Along with progression-based weekly quests, this season will introduce Moments of Triumph – special challenges offering unique rewards to players who complete them before the season ends.

Destiny 2’s Game Director Joe Blackburn puts himself on the frontlines again for another dev update.

The competitive Guardian Games event will also be making its return in March, pitting classes against each other in contests of strength and teamwork. Exclusive loot awaits the winning class.

In April, a two-month mini-expansion called “Destiny 2: Into the Light” will release, sending players’ Guardians on a journey into the mystical Traveler entity at the heart of Destiny’s lore.

Multiplayer Maps and Story Details Coming Soon

While fans eagerly await more details on “he Final Shape’s story content and additions to Destiny 2’s gameplay sandbox, Bungie’s PvP Strike Team is hard at work on three new Crucible maps for the multiplayer slate coming in May.

And for those hungry for revelations about the next saga in Destiny’s story, Bungie promises more concrete details in an reveal stream this April.

After a decade of groundbreaking adventures, rewarding challenges, and enduring bonds formed between Guardians, Bungie aims to deliver an experience unlike anything fans have seen before – one that does justice to this remarkable sci-fi universe and community. Though the road ahead may be longer than expected, its shape promises to be well worth the wait.

I've been playing games for pretty much as long as I can remember. There's about 15 years of gaming experience under my belt at this point. Destiny, Warframe, Halo, CoD and the list goes on. I was a brief world record holder for Destiny 2 speedrunning, as well as a season-long stint as a top 10 ranked PVP player. More recently, I've been shooting for the Celeste speedrun leaderboards. In-between sessions of getting too mad at shooters, I spend a lot of my time playing gacha games like Honkai Star Rail and Limbus Company.
