Amid all the Marathon controversy, some people might forget that Bungie is still toiling away at Destiny 2. Players are getting a new update today, but before that happens, the Destiny 2 servers need to be taken down temporarily this May 20.

For the full schedule of the downtime, MP1st has it available below.
