Bungie has announced that it is delaying the release of The Final Shape expansion for Destiny 2 by several months. Initially slated for a February 27th release, the new expansion date is now June 4, 2024. According to a post on the Destiny 2 official site, the team needs more time to “become exactly what we want it to be” as it brings the 10-year Guardians’ journey to a close. “We want to honor that journey, so we’re taking the time we need to deliver an even bigger and bolder vision, one that we hope will be remembered and treasured for years to come,” the post reads.
Of course, the change in the expansion’s release brings changes to the game’s roadmap. Season of the Wish begins later today and will run through June 4th. Originally planned to have continuing content through the end of February, developers realized that more would need to be added to keep players occupied for the intervening months. To that end, the team will be adding new weekly progression-based quests called “Wishes.”
In February, this will include new weekly progression-based quests called Wishes, and the launch of Moments of Triumph with unique rewards. Next, we’re moving Guardian Games up to March with a refreshed focus on class vs. class competition. Then, beginning in April, we’re delivering a two-month content update available to everyone called Destiny 2: Into the Light, which will prepare players for their Guardian’s journey into the Traveler. All of this is in addition to the ongoing efforts from our PvP Strike Team, including three new PvP maps dropping in May.
