Destiny 2: The Final Shape Officially Delayed To June

Bungie has officially confirmed that Destiny 2’s next expansion, The Final Shape, has been delayed from February to June 4. The Final Shape is a major release for the game, as it caps off the 10-year saga that’s been told since the beginning of the first Destiny. New Destiny 2 adventures are also in development to help add to Season of the Wish, including Destiny 2: Into the Light, a two-month content update for all players starting in April.

This news comes after an unspecified number of staff members were laid off at the company, with a Bloomberg report claiming that 8% of the workforce–or almost 100 people–being affected in the wake of poor player retention after the release of this year’s Lightfall expansion. Revenue is reportedly at 45% under Bungie’s projections, and virtually every department has been affected, from QA to social.

“Today is a sad day at Bungie as we say goodbye to colleagues who have all made a significant impact on our studio,” Bungie CEO Pete Parsons wrote in a Twitter post that has been widely criticized. “What these exceptional individuals have contributed to our games and Bungie culture has been enormous and will continue to be a part of Bungie long into the future.”
