However, in January 2026, Forbes writer Paul Tassi reported that his sources told him that the <em>Destiny 2 <\/em>Shadow and Justice update had been delayed to an unknown date.

According to the developer, the <em>Destiny 2<\/em> update is going through &#8220;large revisions.&#8221; It will now include a bunch of sizable quality-of-life updates and will receive a brand-new name. Bungie has stated that it will share more details as the new launch date for the update approaches.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the update, players can also expect to see more details about the previously announced Weapon Tier Upgrading and another bunch of additions, such as Pantheon 2.0, Tier 5 Stats for Exotic Armors, and more. Bungie has also said that through June, it will continue to roll out new bug fixes, stability improvements, ongoing portal modifiers, Guardian Games in March, and the return of Iron Banner cadence in April.<\/p>\n<p>While Bungie says that it&#8217;s reworking the Shadow and Order update, it&#8217;s worth keeping in mind that the studio&#8217;s upcoming extraction shooter <em>Marathon <\/em>is all set to release on March 5. The title has already gone through a bunch of different controversies, including allegations of art plagiarism and delays. With such a major release right around the corner, Bungie obviously doesn&#8217;t want to divide its fans between the two games, and pushing back the <em>Destiny 2 <\/em>update could allow <em>Marathon<\/em> to get the attention it desperately needs.<\/p>\n<p>Although there has been a lot of criticism surrounding Bungie&#8217;s handling o<em>f Destiny 2<\/em>, the studio seems to be listening to player feedback. The recent <em>Destiny 2<\/em> patch has addressed bugs and glitches that have been affecting the game for a while now. <span style=\"box-sizing:border-box; margin:0px; padding:0px\">There are also rumors that <em>Destiny 3<\/em> is in development, but for now, players are hoping the Shadows and Order update can put <em>Destiny 2<\/em> back on track.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card
