Destiny 2 Fans Declare Victory After Months Of Crashing Out: ‘It Worked’
The plan was to sunset Destiny 2 in June. Mass layoffs followed a couple of weeks later, including most of the team working on Bungie’s sci-fi MMO. Fans were understandably upset. They signed petitions, threatened boycotts, and spammed the chat in every summer gaming showcase with demands for Sony to greenlight Destiny 3. Sony has not done that, at least not yet, but Bungie has done a 180 on not bringing new content to Destiny 2 and fans are celebrating like it’s the end of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
The content coming to Destiny 2 isn’t technically new. It’s actually stuff that was removed from the game and vaulted years ago. But it will have to be remade to bring it in line with the current standards and gameplay mechanics of the rest of the loot shooter. And if you had told the fan base back in May that Destiny 2 would be undoing vaulting, the most controversial decision in the game’s nearly 10-year history, they would certainly have treated it as a major commitment to new content.
And it is. Bungie says it’s not ready to share a roadmap yet on when stuff might actually start going live, but the vibe the studio is giving off is that it won’t begin to start rolling out for at least several more months. But that hasn’t stopped most fans from declaring victory:

Bungie has a LONG road ahead of them. Best thing the Destiny community can do is be patient at this point.
This may be the best possible outcome!Bungie has confirmed they will be bringing back the vaulted content.
"beginning the work of bringing vaulted Destiny 2 campaigns, destinations, and raids back into the game, where they will be available to all D2 players."
