Bungie responds after Destiny 2 The Final Shape was “accidentally pushed live on PS5” early

Updated May 31, 2024: Bungie has released a statement after “part” of Destiny 2’s The Final Shape expansion was “accidentally uploaded” to the PS5’s streaming service.

The studio acknowledged that spoilers were being shared online and that a “small group of players” were able to access the campaign, collections, echoes and “other rewards information.”

Therefore, the team is advising players who don’t want the experience to be spoiled to “be extra careful” on social media ahead of The Final Shape’s release next week, and asking those who have seen spoilers for “pay attention to others”. “.

“Thank you to everyone in our community who has already helped us by reporting leaks and to those who are actively working to prevent more experiences from being shared ahead of schedule,” the statement concludes.

“It’s always extremely difficult when our team’s hard work is revealed early, but we’re always excited for everyone to experience the full release together on June 4.”

The original story is as follows.

May 30, 2024: Eyes up, Guardian – The Final Shape DLC has leaked online after the expansion was temporarily available earlier today.

As has been reported dozens of times in the Destiny 2 subreddit community and beyond, “the entirety” of The Final Shape DLC was “playable” – although some say this is an exaggeration and that the content was simply accessible – until, finally, developer Bungie was “killed”. waiters.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t before spoilers about the story, raid, trophies, loot, and more flooded social media and online communities. It appears that the content became available after yesterday’s scheduled maintenance.

No spoilers have been included in this story.

“The entire DLC is playable right now. If you don’t want spoilers, this is your chance to get out of the submarine, out of X, out of everything,” said one Destiny 2 player on the official subreddit, titling his message: “CODE RED: SPOILERS ARE COMING EVERYWHERE. DLC LEAKED”.

“PC servers killed, Bungie/Sony about to attempt full damage control,” the first update to their post reads, quickly followed by “UPDATE 2: This leak trumps everything else. Raid gear, raid mechanics, HUGE STORY SPOILERS LIKE.. MASSIVE If you don’t like leaks/spoilers, tomorrow will be hell It’s such a shame I’d be surprised if they didn’t release. TFC earlier to prevent people from being spoiled.

According to the poster, players who accidentally ended up with the new update were “somehow still online despite the servers being shut down lmao.”

“The full campaign is available. Seasonal stuff too,” the poster explained.

Eventually the content was taken offline again. It is speculated, but not definitively confirmed, that players could have accessed the new content through “a fu*k up Sony backend” similar to the one some used to get a premature preview of the Elden Ring DLC.

As of this writing, neither Bungie nor Sony have publicly acknowledged the leak.

Last week, Guardians got their first look – well, technically – at Keith David’s Commander Zavala in Destiny 2: The Final Shape.

We already knew that Bungie had no plans to remove Zavala from Destiny 2’s story given that he was “central” to the upcoming The Final Shape expansion, but this is the first time we’ve heard from Zavala voiced by David. Until now, Zavala’s voice work had been recorded in advance by his original voice actor, Lance Reddick, who sadly passed away last year.
