As Marathon draws closer, concern is growing within the Destiny 2 community.

This week on Tower Casuals: The Destiny Podcast, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Corey Dirrig⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Josh Finney⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ break down Bungie’s announcement of a major three-month delay to Destiny 2’s next update and what it means for Guardians heading into the summer.

The upcoming update—formerly Shadow and Order—is undergoing significant revisions, expanding its scope with major quality-of-life improvements, new endgame systems, and a full rebrand ahead of its new launch date on June 9, 2026.

Our discussion covers what’s changing, why the delay is happening, how Marathon’s release timeline factors into Bungie’s priorities, and what players will be doing in-game between now and June.

We also discuss this week's TWID, diving into ongoing seasonal events, Bright Dust rewards, community challenges, Iron Banner updates, Guardian fashion highlights, and the continued work of the New Player Guide for Destiny.

With communication shifting to regular updates through TWIDs and social channels, we talk about whether Bungie’s plan is enough to keep Guardians engaged—or worried—during this long stretch.

This week on Tower Casuals: The Destiny Podcast

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Corey Dirrig⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Josh Finney⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ take a hard look at a Destiny landscape that appears to be in the middle of an identity crisis.

There’s been no information at all on “Shadow and Order,” despite its launch seemingly landing the same week as Marathon.Rumors suggest Marathon is an all-hands-on-deck effort at Bungie, raising concerns that the latest Destiny 2 update could be delayed as a result. Could a successful Marathon be the final nail in the coffin for Destiny 2? Will Bungie have enough staff to keep it going? And perhaps most importantly—do players even want it to continue?

With so many unanswered questions, Corey and Josh also ask what all of this means for the future of Tower Casuals itself.

This episode of Tower Casuals: The Destiny Podcast is full of uncertainty, speculation, and the questions that need answers.
