Destiny 2’s next large-scale update, Shadow and Order, has been delayed out of its launch in just a couple of weeks. But players already pretty much knew that.

Shadow and Order was scheduled to launch on March 3, two days before Bungie’s new game Marathon, and the writing has been on the wall for a while: radio silence about the update for a long time, until today.

Bungie posted today that Shadow and Order is now launching on June 9, which is just over three months from its initial launch point, and “undergoing large revisions” in the process. Needless to say, even though they knew it was coming, Destiny 2 players are none too pleased on the subject.

“We will provide exact details closer to release covering previously announced Weapon Tier Upgrading, but also additions like expanding Tiered Gear to all Raid and Dungeon activities, Pantheon 2.0, Tier 5 stats for Exotic Armors, and more,” Bungie said.

Shadow and Order is now being “changed and expanded to include sizable quality-of-life updates and as a result, will also be renamed” in light of the change, which feels directly Marathon-related, whether intended or not.

“Through June, we will continue to have routine bug fixes and stability improvements, continued portal modifiers, Guardian Games (March), and the return of a more frequent Iron Banner cadence (April),” Bungie said, confirming that the roadmap of content will be a bit more scant than originally scheduled. “In terms of communications, we will be focusing on providing you with updates about our live game content, community activations, and general upkeep through the TWID and our Destiny social channels.”

Bungie and Sony both need Marathon to be a success, and the chances of Destiny 2 players trying it out, buying it, and spending money on it is likely a lot higher if they don’t have Shadow and Order to distract them from the new extraction shooter.

Before its delay, Shadow and Order was set to include a new rewards pass, exotic weapon and ornament, new legendary weapons and armor ornaments, new cosmetics, “and more.”
