Bungie is “looking at next week to queue up the update” on its plan to bring vaulted Destiny 2 content back, head of product Josh Deane wrote on October 19, 2026 in a post on X. That puts the first official details on the unvaulting in the week of October 26.
The Details
The promise dates from September. In “The Next Chapter for Bungie,” the studio said it is “beginning the work of bringing vaulted Destiny 2 campaigns, destinations, and raids back into the game, where they will be available to all Destiny 2 players,” and that the work “will take time.”
A few days later, in a September 25 post, Deane wrote: “I know there are a lot of questions on the how, what, when of unvaulting.” In the copy of that post players shared on Bungie’s forums, he aimed to explain the first step before the end of October and to track the work with a progress bar rather than a traditional roadmap.
Monday’s post is a quote of a player’s clip reacting to that September message. Deane opened with “Cracked me up a bit on this one” and a laughing emoji, then added: “Looking at next week to queue up the update.” If it holds, the first update still lands inside the end-of-October target.
What Bungie still has not said:
- Which content returns first. No campaign, destination or raid has been named.
- When anything goes live. The September post framed the first update as a first step and a progress bar, not a release date.
- What it costs. Bungie’s wording is “available to all Destiny 2 players,” and it has not used the word “free.”
What This Means for Players
Do not reinstall for next week. Deane is describing a first look at the process, and Bungie has stressed that restoring old content means rebuilding lighting, encounters and combatants for today’s game. What next week should answer is which piece Bungie tackles first.

Bungie’s other live game is changing too: our Marathon roadmap story covers its PvE mode and new zone.
When and Where
- First unvaulting update: Bungie is targeting next week, the week of October 26, per Deane. It is a plan update, not a release.
- Destiny 2: still online and playable on PC, PlayStation and Xbox, per Bungie’s Destiny page.
