Summary
2023 hasn’t been the best year forBungieandDestiny 2, its main active title within the live-service spectrum, but there are good things to come from the company in 2024 based on what players and fans know so far. For starters,Destiny 2’s 2024 newsincludes several small releases and updates from January through the beginning of June, with players getting to experience the Guardian Games event as well as a brand-new project in the form of Into The Light, which is yet to be revealed in full detail. There are also other possibilities for Bungie to shift its focus to other titles, and 2024 could see more information come out about the upcomingMarathon.
It’s worth noting that, originally, players expected Bungie to be working on four different games:Destiny 2, the recently revealedMarathon, the highly-speculatedMatter, and another unannounced title. The latter is unlikely to show up in 2024 given theBungie layoffslast year and the impact they have had on the community at large. Furthermore, a popularDestiny 2YouTuber by the name of Aztecross revealed in November 2023 that internal sources statedMatterhad been quietly canceled all the way back in 2020, so there is nothing to expect from it.
Destiny 2’s The Final Shape is to Be Released on June 11, 2025
After a long period of silence following the layoffs, despite the fact that adelay to June 2024 forDestiny 2’s The Final Shapehad been disclosed unofficially, Bungie finally confirmed as much and set a new release date for the expansion. The Final Shape is the conclusion of the series' 10-year saga surrounding the forces of Light and Darkness, and it’s expected to deliver a conclusion to the story with its campaign and subsequent Raid launch, starting a new saga and direction for the game as early as one week after release.
Destiny 2’s Episodic Model and Episodes One and Two
With The Final Shape,Destiny 2is also launching a brand-new live-service approach that this time focuses on three different four-month cycles instead of the typical four seasons. Alongside The Final Shape, Episode 1 - called Echoes, will be released. Little is known about it at the moment, but based on its associated art, it seemsDestiny 2’s Echoeswill revolve around Osiris and the Vex, possibly marking a return to Venus and the start of a new saga.
Marathon’s Gameplay Trailer in 2024
This is far from confirmed at this stage, but it would make sense for Bungie to reveal 2024. According to the leaks from after the layoffs, Bungie initially planned on launchingMarathonin 2024, but the game was tentatively delayed to 2025 afterEscape From Tarkovplayers found it uninteresting. This is because, likeEscape From Tarkov,Marathonis a PvP extraction shooter. Bungie has yet to reveal gameplay details, and it would be sensible for the company to showcase a gameplay trailer to set expectations for the game’s launch - whenever that happens. Another option would be another generic trailer, possibly focusing on other aspects of the game like the setting or the characters.
When to Expect Marathon News in 2024
There are three main possibilities for moreMarathonnews to show up. The first is at any big PlayStation showcase in 2024; the second is onBungieDay, which occurs on July 7; the third is at The Game Awards in December 2024. There is no indication of whether a trailer is happening or when, but these three possibilities are the most likely based onBungie’s history and following its acquisition by Sony.
