Bungie has delayed the next major Destiny 2 update, originally titled Shadow and Order, until June 9, 2026. The update, which will be renamed, was initially planned for release in March but has been pushed back four months to allow for significant revisions and quality-of-life improvements. These improvements include expanded Tiered Gear across all Raid and Dungeon activities, Pantheon 2.0, and enhanced Exotic Armor stats (up to Tier 5). Features like Weapon Tier Upgrading, previously announced, are still in development and will be released with the update. Shadow and Order was also expected to include a new rewards pass, exotic weapon and ornament, new legendary weapons and armor ornaments, and new cosmetics. While Shadow and Order is delayed, Bungie plans to continue regular bug fixes and stability updates to Destiny 2. The live version will also receive portal modifiers and the Guardian Games in March, and the Iron Banner schedule will become more frequent starting in April. The delay of Shadow and Order raises the possibility of a postponement for Destiny 2’s next expansion, Shattered Cycle.
