Destiny 2 Content Unvaulting Won't Take Place Until 2028

Bungie needs 12 months for production and porting

PlayStation developer Bungie has confirmed it'll likely need until the first few months of 2028 to complete the unvaulting process of old Destiny 2 content it recently promised to bring back.

A new community update post shares a predicted timeline for the content unvault, with the studio currently at the pre-production stage. It expects to be at this point until January or February of next year, and then it'll enter full production for about 12 months, placing a finish line at the beginning of 2028. "It's a lot of content," said Bungie.

Right now, it's planning to bring back the following content:

• Red War, Forsaken, Curse of Osiris, and Warmind campaigns
• Strikes from the above releases
• Raids, and Raid Lairs from the above releases
• Menagerie Activity with reprised rewards

Once it's completed the unvaulting process for the content listed above, it's put together a list of "stretch goals" it'll also consider. Those include free roam destinations, seasonal activities, raid and raid lair weapon updates, and PvP maps.

Here is Bungie's progress bar, highlighting how it's currently in pre-production and what's to come:

The developer says it's currently "on track" to deliver the unvaulted content to the above timeline.

Between now and then, Bungie has lots of other Destiny 2 content and updates to look forward to. It teases a "Destiny 2 celebration" based around the community that helped bring it back, one that "provides new updates for you all to enjoy. More details to come!"

The team also talks of "Destiny Legacy", where Bungie talks of serving the "whole experience" to players. Some fans think this could be a kind of Destiny Classic version, similar to World of Warcraft Classic, where the original version of the gam is brought back to play.

Finally, there's a redacted event. Bungie just says "We're back" in relation to this tease. It sounds like more information on all three things will come in February 2027.

A lot of the blog post talks about Bungie attempting to regain the trust of its fanbase, and it ends with the following:

We're not going to forget the mistakes of the past, but it's time to learn from them and unify as one Bungie community. For us, the majority of our Bungie team is legacy Destiny, and we will all tell you that nothing can help bridge us into future more than for Marathon to rapidly evolve and become sustainable. As we head into our December and March updates for Marathon, it’s a formative period for all of us here at Bungie that will help determine the shape of our future, so please encourage each other and know that your support gives our team the energy to finish the fight.
