A major update for Destiny 2 will change its name and release later — on June 9.

Major Destiny 2 Update Gets Renamed and Delayed to June 9

It was planned that the major update for Destiny 2 titled Shadow and Order would launch on March 3. However, in January, Bungie announced that the shooter Marathon would also release in early spring — with just a couple of days separating the two releases.

"This delay falls right when the next 'real' DLC was supposed to come out. Jesus Christ, Bungie, 3 months of nothing? Even Paul Tassi didn't anticipate such a big delay. The game is over," — a concerned user.
