Bungie’sannouncementthat The Final Shape will now release on June 4th 2024 rather than the end of February confirms recent reports that multiple game delays had contributed tolayoffs at the studio. Thenewly Sony-ownedstudio has also reportedly pushed back theirmultiplayer rebootof nineties shooterMarathonto 2025, although this is yet to be confirmed.
On top of the planned season, the developers will now introduce Wishes - progression-based weekly quests - and Moments of Triumph rewards in February in lieu of The Final Shape’s release.

After that, the annual class-on-class PVP event Guardian Games will move up to March, before a new update dubbed Into the Light drops in April. The two-month run of content will apparently “prepare players for their Guardian’s journey into the Traveler”, with no other details given - sounds like it’ll be fairly story-focused, though. We’ll then get three new PVP maps in May, taking us up to the new launch date for The Final Shape.
“The Final Shape needs more time to become exactly what we want it to be,” Bungie said as explanation for the delay. “We know you’re eager to get your hands on The Final Shape. In that sense, delays aren’t fun. For our part, we are excited to have the extra time needed to bring our vision for The Final Shape to life for all of you.”
Amidst the reshuffled update plans, expect to see new gameplay from The Final Shape in April.
