Bungie's principal communications manager for Destiny, Dylan "dmg04" Gafner, has publicly expressed gratitude to the Destiny 2 community as the game nears its final content update.
The studio recently announced that Destiny 2 will receive its last update in June 2026, marking the end of active development after nine years. The final update is named Monument of Triumph.
Gafner posted on X that he appreciates the tributes fans have shared and is passing them along to the development team. "Thank you to everyone who has reached out.
Thank you to everyone who's been sharing what Destiny means to them," he wrote, adding that he is forwarding "photos, videos, art pieces, everything" to the team as they come in.
What Happens to Destiny 2 After the Final Monument of Triumph Update
Bungie has announced that active development on Destiny 2 will conclude after the June update. The game will still be playable, but it will no longer receive new content updates.
The final update, called Monument of Triumph, marks the end of a franchise that started with the original Destiny in 2014, roughly 12 years ago.
The end of active development has sparked considerable discussion within the community about a possible Destiny 3. A petition calling for a sequel has gained hundreds of thousands of signatures, with several voice actors from the series supporting the campaign. The effort seems partly aimed at pressuring Bungie's owner, Sony, to approve a new installment.
Currently, a sequel does not seem likely. Reports suggest that Destiny 3 is not in active development and that Bungie has no projects approved beyond Marathon, the extraction shooter the studio released earlier in 2026.
Significant layoffs at Bungie are reportedly expected after Destiny 2's final update, as the studio shifts its focus to Marathon.
Why Destiny 3 Looks Unlikely, for Now
Destiny 2 is winding down as it joins PlayStation Plus.
Sony announced that the Destiny 2: Legacy Collection, which includes The Final Shape expansion and is set for release in 2025, will be available to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members starting June 9. This is the same day the final update for the game is expected.
Bungie has not revealed any plans for a new Destiny game. The studio's current focus is on Marathon, which has experienced a challenging launch period.
It remains unclear whether the Destiny franchise will continue in any form beyond Destiny 2's current playable but static state, as neither Bungie nor Sony has made further statements.
