It’s been a disastrous day for the Destiny 2 community as details from the upcoming The Final Shape expansion have leaked online. Sony granted players unintended early access to the content, spoiling key plot points, weapons, armor, and even raid mechanics.
The leak appears to be linked to PS5’s streaming service. While the exact details remain unclear, it allowed players to access a significant portion of the expansion, resulting in a flurry of leaks across social media platforms.
Bungie and Sony have yet to officially comment on the situation, but the duo took down the faulty servers to stop any more leaks, even though it looks a tad bit late. At the time of writing, the Destiny 2 community is scrambling to contain the spread of spoilers. Players who wish to avoid them are advised to stay off social media and gaming forums until the official release of The Final Shape.
Considering Bungie has been building towards The Final Shape as the last chapter of its 10-year-long storyline, this incident is a major blow to the developer. The leaks threaten to diminish the impact of the narrative and gameplay surprises the expansion has to offer. Destiny 2 players are already expressing frustration and mourning the loss of experiencing the content firsthand.
Initially, the first Destiny 2 The Final Shape leaks featured glimpses of the opening cutscene, snippets of dialogue, and details gleaned from weapon and armor collections. But the situation rapidly escalated as players dove deeper, with leaks spilling into raid mechanics and boss encounters.
There’s a silver lining, though. Some players, despite the leaks, report feeling even more hyped for the arrival of The Final Shape. While the leaks are undoubtedly a setback, there might still be a light at the end of the tunnel as long as the rest of the expansion delivers quality content.
