People who are excited about Destiny 2: The Final Shape, which is supposed to come out on June 4, 2024, should avoid the internet for a few days. This is because PlayStation-owned Bungie accidentally released the whole expansion early, and now spoilers are everywhere.
According to Eurogamer, many players went to social media, surprised and upset, when they found out the expansion was available to play on May 29 after a server update. This expansion is supposed to be the big finale of Destiny 2’s 10-year story.
Some players, like Cupcake_0f_Doom on Reddit, who streamed Destiny 2 instead of playing a downloaded version, were automatically put into the new content.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape Leaks
Bungie’s Destiny 2: The Final Shape expansion is supposed to come out on June 4th. However, some players got to play it early today. People on Reddit and Discord have been sharing pictures and videos of the new game content, which they accessed through Sony’s PS5 cloud streaming service.
For at least five hours, players could explore the whole DLC. They shared spoilers about raid gear, seasonal content, The Final Shape campaign, missions, and even cutscenes. Videos showing new weapons and gear have also been uploaded to YouTube.
The Final Shape is expected to be Destiny 2’s most important expansion, wrapping up the nearly ten-year-long light and darkness saga. In it, players will fight The Witness, the main villain who controls the Black Fleet, a group of pyramid ships.
This expansion will also introduce a new Prismatic Subclass, which combines the powers of Light and Darkness, letting players mix abilities from different damage types. This new subclass could greatly change the way the game is played.
Sony and Bungie have fixed the mistake that allowed early access, but the leak has already caused a lot of problems. Spoilers and gameplay details are spreading across forums, social media, Discord, and Reddit, making it hard for fans to avoid them before the official launch on Tuesday.
Destiny 2’s Final Shape Expansion
The release date for Destiny 2: The Final Shape is very close, and this expansion will end the game’s Dark and Light saga to start something new. However, the new DLC leaked early, and Bungie is trying to fix the situation.
According to a post by u/Soracaz on the Destiny subreddit, the entire DLC was available to play early on Thursday, May 30. Players could try the full campaign, season content, raid gear, and raid mechanics. Soracaz warns that there are major story spoilers and advises players to stay off the internet.

Bungie acted quickly, shutting down the Destiny 2 servers on PC to control the damage. While some people were still playing the DLC for a short time, it is now inaccessible. Soracaz mentioned that a lot of content is already leaked with many videos and pictures ready to be shared.
The subreddit’s moderators locked Soracaz’s thread, saying they have a zero-tolerance policy for any spoilers due to the serious nature of this leak. Bungie has not made an official statement yet, and it is unclear when the PC servers will be back online.
