Destiny 2 The Final Shape DLC Leaks, Bungie Warns Against Spoilers

by Alex Co May 30, 2024 5:25 pm in News

Earlier today, Sony and Bungie bungled Destiny 2’s next premium expansion, The Final Shape, by having it playable. Well, naturally, Destiny 2 players jumped at the chance, and while Sony killed the servers temporarily, damage has been done.

What Happened With the Destiny 2 The Final Shape Leak?

Based on what the community has said, it seems this is entirely Sony’s fault and the company’s game streaming service. Through the service, players can access pre-loaded content that has not been released. It looks like The Final Shape was pre-loaded on Sony’s servers for streaming purposes, but it lacked the necessary protections and safeguards to stop users from being able to access the DLC early.

Once users managed to log in to the service, they were given a fresh rank 1 Guardian account. Players had to go through the tutorial first in order to gain access to the Tower. Players were not able to gain access to The Final Shape campaign or destination immediately, as that required a rank 2 Guardian before being able to access the campaign. However, players still had access to the director map and inventory pages.

The majority of the leak focused on:

  • “Echoes” Season Pass and Rewards
  • All items within the “Collections” Page, including weapons, armor, gear, cosmetics, mods, and exotics
  • Eververse Store Front, including exotic ornaments and other cosmetics

Sadly, this leak also outed the raid loot, which is almost always one of the major things players look out for. This included the raid armor mods as well.

Once players were able to access the Tower and reach rank 2, they were able to start The Final Shape campaign. At the time this happened, Bungie was made aware of the blunder, and pulled the servers offline. It seems that the entire DLC’s story has not been leaked so far, as people didn’t have time to play through the DLC’s story given they had to go through the tutorial first and whatnot.

What Got Leaked?

  • Weapons (Destination, Raid, Seasonal)
  • Armor (Destination, Raid, Seasonal)
  • Exotics (Destination, Seasonal)
  • Cosmetics (Destination, Raid, Seasonal, Eververse)
  • Raid Loot/Raid Mods (at best, the “name” of mechanics)
  • Season Pass (Echoes)
  • Portions of the first campaign mission
  • In addition to flavor texts and perk descriptions, some of which spoil the seasonal vendor and other minor focuses (such as the Echoes store-front synopsis and planetary location).

What Did Bungie Say About The Final Shape Leak?

Over on Twitter/X, the developers shared a message warning people of spoilers. We’ve compiled the tweets into a more reader-friendly version below.

Earlier today, a portion of Destiny 2: The Final Shape was accidentally pushed live on PS5’s streaming service. There are currently spoilers being shared online. A small group of players were able to play some of the campaign, access Collections, and other reward info coming in The Final Shape, and Echoes.

We recommend being very careful on social media over the next few days to avoid spoilers. Remember to exercise caution and be critical of potential misinformation. lease be considerate of others and report leaks so players can experience the conclusion of the Light and Darkness saga themselves.

Thanks to all our community members who have already helped us by reporting leaks and those actively working to prevent more of the experience from being shared before its intended date.

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

We’re obviously not going to be posting story spoilers and whatnot, and we encourage other people not to do so as well.

Destiny 2’s The Final Shape expansion launches on June 4 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
