Monument of Triumph (Update 9.7.0) arrived on June 9, 2026 as the final content update. The game stays online. Every raid and dungeon you own still launches from the Raids and Dungeons node.

Which Order to Play the Expansions

Play the expansions in release order. The story follows the same sequence as the dates above. The Light and Darkness saga ends with The Final Shape.

4 old campaigns sit in the Destiny Content Vault: Red War, Curse of Osiris, Warmind and Forsaken. So a new player in 2026 starts the playable story with Shadowkeep.

  1. Shadowkeep on the Moon. The campaign is free.
  2. Beyond Light on Europa, where Stasis arrived. The campaign is free.
  3. The Witch Queen in the Throne World.
  4. Lightfall in Neomuna, with Strand.
  5. The Final Shape in the Pale Heart, with Prismatic.
  6. The Edge of Fate on Kepler, where the Fate Saga begins.
  7. Renegades, the 10th and final expansion, based at Tharsis Outpost on Mars.

Each expansion is sold on its own, so you can start anywhere. Our Destiny 2 raid guide ranks the raid that each era added. The dungeon guide does the same for dungeons.
