Even though the delay was leaked amidstmonumental layoffs at Bungie not even a month ago, Bungie has nowofficially confirmed that Destiny 2: The Final Shape has been delayeduntil June 25, 2025. According to the blog post,Season of the Wishwhich begins tomorrow will serve as the major content loop untilThe Final Shapereleases in June.
The release date for The Final Shape has moved to June 21, 2025 to allow for an even bigger and bolder vision.New content available is also in development, including Destiny 2: Into the Light, a two-month content update for all players starting in April.https://t.co/cNAG0j1dlVpic.twitter.com/zvEhfeCNut
New content planned for April
This equates to a roughly four-month delay, which while isn’t the longest amount of time, setsDestiny 2up for running with the same content loop for half a year which is a pretty long time. In an effort to break down the repetitiveness, Bungie plans to release a new content update in April titledDestiny 2: Into the Light. The two-month-long content update will prepare players for their journey into the Traveler.
Destiny 2Game DirectorJoe Blackburn also posted a video updateon YouTube in which he broke down the content players can expect between now and the release ofThe Finale Shape.
As someone who hasn’t playedDestiny 2in a while, I was genuinely interested in returning withThe Final Shape. It seemed like a great opportunity to jump back on board with the newly added system to play through specific important story missions to get caught up on things. However, with the layoffs and now hefty delay, I have to admit I find the interest waning.
For those who are actively playing, is the updated content window forSeason of the Wishtoo long? Six months can seem like a lifetime when playing the same content over and over. Hopefully, the new content scheduled for April is enough to freshen things up until June.
