While The Final Shape won't end Destiny 2, it will conclude the storyline it's been building up for almost a decade now with a final showdown between players and a force, called The Witness, bent on the universe's destruction. Originally set to add a new campaign and lots of other content on February 27 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, the massive expansion will now arrive in June instead, Bloomberg reports.
Marathon's Delay to 2025
Meanwhile, Marathon, a sci-fi extraction shooter that will revolve around session-based matches with a story that evolves as players complete various objectives and milestones, has apparently been delayed until 2025.
Reasons for the Delays
The specific reasons for the delays haven't yet come to light, but news of them comes as Bungie CEO Pete Parsons informed staff today that there would be a meeting to discuss today's events, including layoffs impacting recruiters, support staff, and some developers.
Destiny 2's Tough Year
The delays and layoffs come during a rough year for Destiny 2 overall, with 2023's Lightfall being one of its worst-received expansions, and seasonal updates undercut by an unusual spike in server outages and other issues.
Future Plans for Destiny 2
The game’s director, Joe Blackburn, had promised a shift to an episodic model in 2024, with fewer, bigger updates to help address player burnout. It’s unclear how today’s big shakeup might impact those plans.
