The Destiny 2 Content Unvaulting Roadmap

The future is bright as Bungie drops more details about the unvaulting project, which they hope will restore Destiny 2 to its former state.

by · Shacknews

Destiny 2 has had a tremendous amount of ups and downs over the years, but few moments were as impactful as the vaulting of content that had to occur midway through the game's lifecycle. Essential player experiences were locked away, campaigns disappeared, and the game became a fractured mess. The good news is, Bungie has plans to bring this content back.

While details are somewhat thin on the ground, we thought it best to keep this article as a hub of all known information about the content unvaulting, documenting the roadmap as it gets announced, as this is sure to be a topic of tremendous interest to our fellow Guardians. 

So far, the confirmed dates are somewhat sparse, but what we know is as follows:

  • Scoping - June 2026 - this was the initial greenlight moment for the project, bringing it to life.
  • Validation - September 2026 - this process involved ensuring the project's assumptions were accurate and execution was possible.
  • Pre-Production - Ongoing - the current stage, Bungie is ensuring that legacy content can be ported and that the process is working and resulting in the desired quality.
  • Production - Feb 2027
  • Release TBD - there has been no confirmed date, but Bungie currently feels that the production process will take 12 months, so after Feb/March 2028.

What you can expect, and when

In a community update, Bungie describes three different "passes" that contain potential content for unvaulting. 

First pass to deliver at the unvaulting launch:

  • Red War, Forsaken, Curse of Osiris, and Warmind campaigns
  • Strikes from the above releases
  • Raids, and Raid Lairs from the above releases
  • Menagerie Activity with reprised rewards

Stretch goals to be delivered at launch or post-launch:

  • Free Roam Destinations (Public Events, Lost Sectors, Escalation Protocol, etc.)
  • Seasonal Activities from Sundial (Season 9) to The Coil (Season 23)
  • Raid and Raid Lair Weapon updates
  • PvP Maps

Content with no current path to launch due to technical or strategic reasons:

  • Updated New Light Experience
  • Seasonal Story Missions
  • Gambit Map (Kell's Grave)
  • Seasonal Hubs (e.g., Eliksni Quarter)
