Destiny 2: end of live-service and the Legacy Collection

Destiny 2, Bungie’s popular MMO, is approaching its final curtain call. With the announcement of Destiny 2: Legacy Collection and the game’s final live-service content update, a new chapter in the series’ history is beginning. This article breaks down the Legacy Collection, the last update, and what the future may hold for the Destiny universe.

What is the Legacy Collection?

The Destiny 2: Legacy Collection will be available starting June 9, 2026. This bundle includes Destiny 2’s major expansions, including The Final Shape, Lightfall, and The Witch Queen, along with several DLC packs. In 2025, this content was bundled into a single package, normally priced at $70.

• The Final Shape Standard Edition

• Lightfall Standard Edition

• The Witch Queen Standard Edition

• Beyond Light Pack

• Shadowkeep Pack

• Forsaken Pack

• 30th Anniversary Pack

• Pit of Heresy Dungeon

• Shattered Throne Dungeon

• Grasp of Avarice Dungeon

However, Edge of Fate and Renegades are not included in the Legacy Collection, and both are still available separately for $40 each. These packs include unique storylines and challenging missions for players looking for the full experience.

End of supported content

Live-service support for Destiny 2 will end on the same day the Legacy Collection launches. Bungie has confirmed that June 9, 2026 is when the final update, Monument to Triumph, will arrive. This marks a major moment for players and developers alike, as more than twelve years of active maintenance and content updates come to an end.

Bungie says that while active development on Destiny 2 will stop, plans are in place to keep the game playable, similar to the original Destiny. That means players should still be able to return to the game in the future without it disappearing entirely.

Community reactions

The announcement that live-service support is ending has sparked mixed reactions across the gaming community. Many fans are worried about Bungie’s future, especially amid recent rumors of major layoffs at the studio. Meanwhile, talk of a possible successor, Destiny 3, has also picked up. A petition asking Sony to develop a sequel has already gathered more than 220,000 signatures.

The petition’s creator says there is strong demand for new adventures and fresh gameplay ideas in the Destiny universe.
