Destiny 2 The Final Shape is the final chapter in what Bungie refers to as the ‘Light and Darkness Saga’. Destiny 2 may continue beyond it, but the current story will conclude with the next expansion. The Final Shape is getting a proper reveal later this year, and we have all the details on the expansion game so far.
Here is everything we currently know about Destiny 2 The Final Shape.
Destiny 2 The Final Shape: Potential release window
Click to enlargeNo release window has been confirmed for Destiny 2 The Final Shape, but Destiny players can come to some conclusions based on the history of the game’s expansions. First of all, expansions are yearly, and the most recent expansion Lightfall did indeed kick off a year of new content.
While Destiny expansions used to launch between September and November, certain unavoidable world events caused delays resulting in the new expansion month becoming February. The last two expansions have both launched in late February, and that trend is likely to continue.
While we cannot say anything for certain, it seems safe to say that Destiny 2 The Final Shape will most likely launch in late February or potentially early March of 2024.
Destiny 2 The Final Shape: Destiny Showcase

Fans eager to know more were also given a date to put in their calendars. A Destiny showcase will take place on August 22, where more about The Final Shape will be revealed. The showcase will likely be streamed across Youtube and Twitch. An exact time has not yet been revealed, but we will update once it is known.
Destiny 2 The Final Shape: Trailers

As Cayde points out that they have no idea where they are, they are revealed to be in a lush world of greenery and rivers. Looming overhead is the triangle-shaped portal that the Witness opened in the Traveller, seemingly implying that they have travelled to wherever that portal leads.
