Destiny 2's Major Shadow And Order Update Is Being Delayed And Renamed

Destiny 2's upcoming major update, Shadow and Order, has been delayed by over three months to allow for significant revisions. Bungie has announced that the update, originally scheduled for March 3, will now be released on June 9, 2026. The delay is not related to the upcoming launch of Bungie's new shooter, Marathon. The update will undergo "large revisions" and will include "sizable quality-of-life updates." Bungie has also revealed that the update will be renamed, but has not provided any specifics on the new name. The delay leaves a gap in Destiny 2's content schedule, though Bungie promises to push regular updates, including bug fixes, stability improvements, and the return of Guardian Games and Iron Banner. While some fans are understanding of Bungie's decision to take the time to improve the core gameplay experience, others are concerned about the team's ability to release new content frequently enough to keep long-term players engaged. The delay has also raised questions about the potential impact on the Shattered Cycle expansion, which was planned for Summer 2026.
