Destiny 2 Ships Final Monument of Triumph Patch After 9 Years, Ending Bungie Development

Q: With Destiny 2’s story ending, are its foundational campaigns now lost to the vault forever?

Not entirely, but much of Destiny 2’s original history still appears to be effectively lost inside the Destiny Content Vault. Bungie’s final June 9 update makes clear that Destiny 2 will remain playable as an evergreen game, and the new “Destiny 2: The Collection” is being presented as a comprehensive package that includes every campaign, dungeon keys, and prior DLC. If that wording is implemented as described, it suggests Bungie is preserving the game’s major campaign content in its final form rather than deleting more of it as live-service support ends. At the same time, the broader record of vaulted content remains a major gap. The Red War, Curse of Osiris, Warmind, most of Forsaken, and destinations such as Io, Titan, Mercury, and the Tangled Shore were removed years ago, along with raids, strikes, maps, and large stretches of seasonal storytelling. Reporting and prior Bungie explanations have indicated that some of those older campaigns are difficult to restore because they would require substantial rebuilding, not simple reactivation. So the practical answer is mixed. Bungie’s final packaging suggests the company is trying to preserve the core Destiny 2 experience and may be reintroducing major campaigns in “The Collection.” But unless players can directly access those original vaulted campaigns in-game on June 9, Destiny 2’s foundational story remains only partially preserved, with significant chapters of its live-service era still inaccessible.

Monument of Triumph goes live June 9 as Destiny 2’s last major update, closing Bungie’s nine-year run on the live-service shooter while the game itself remains playable.
Update 9.7.0 adds a restored director, a simplified Portal, rotating Distortions, Sparrow Racing League, Pantheon’s return, and broad loot, buildcrafting and quality-of-life upgrades.
Concrete changes include 300 more vault slots, 8 extra loadout slots, seven artifact choices, catalysts for all previously missing exotic weapons, and weapon tier upgrades.
Bungie also reworks anti-champion mods, adds one new aspect per class plus new Stasis and Strand grenades, buffs all primary weapons, and overhauls abilities, exotics, Gambit and PvP.
Maintenance ran from 5:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. PDT, with pre-load at 10 a.m. and login at 11 a.m.; Bungie says future projects are only in incubation, with no Destiny 3 signaled.
