Despite fan backlash towards Bungie's Marathon and skepticism about Destiny 2's future, Bungie is still moving forward with its plans for both titles. Originally planned for release on February 27, Destiny 2's The Final Shape expansion will release on June 4, serving as the conclusion of the decade-long "Light and Darkness" saga. The Final Shape will also mark the end of Destiny 2's seasonal model as Bungie shifts to an episodic model. Although information about the new Destiny 2 episodes is scarce, fans will soon learn more about The Final Shape in Bungie's upcoming live stream.

The upcoming Into the Light content includes the wave-based Onslaught mode, two reprised Exotic Missions, the Hall of Champions social space, and fan-favorite weapons from the past years of Destiny 2.
