Bungie Ends Destiny 2 Live Service Development, Final Update Arrives June 9 Alongside Significant Layoffs

Bungie has announced it is ending live-service development on Destiny 2, with the final content update — titled 'Monument of Triumph' — launching on June 9. The game will remain online and playable after that point, similar to the original Destiny. In the wake of this decision, Bungie is also reportedly planning significant layoffs, and Destiny 3 is not currently in active production, though some staff are pitching and prototyping new ideas.
