Destiny 2

Bungie released the game in 2017 with Activision as publisher and split from it in 2019. On 1 October 2019 the base game went free to play.

From 2020 Bungie moved old material into the Destiny Content Vault, and the original Red War campaign and several expansions left the game.

The Light and Darkness saga, the first major story arc, wrapped up with The Final Shape expansion in June 2024. On 9 June 2026 came an update Bungie called the last one, and the studio ended active development, promising the game would stay playable. Then in September 2026 the studio promised to start bringing vaulted content back into the game.

At launch critics praised the story, the gameplay and the visuals, and were split on the Leviathan raid and the new modes. Players leave 78% positive out of 664,627 reviews; critics give it 83 on Metacritic. By our Recommended Score it is #360 of 4,736 games.
