Destiny 2 Gets Patch 9.7.0.5 After Bungie Vows to Continue Support
Patch 9.7.0.5 is a backend update with no new content, and it marks Destiny 2's first sign of activity since the Monument of Triumph update.
Destiny 2 has received patch 9.7.0.5, a backend update rather than a content drop, according to GameRant. It is the first sign of activity for the game since Bungie went quiet following the Monument of Triumph update.
The patch arrives after Bungie said it would resume work on Destiny 2. In a post titled "The Next Chapter for Bungie," Studio Head Poria Torkan and Head of Product Josh Deane said the game would unvault all content and add it back for free, beginning a new era for the series with Bungie committed to making more Destiny.
The studio's earlier plans had pointed the other way. Destiny 2's death was announced on May 21 of this year, and the Monument of Triumph update followed on June 9, marking the end of live service and support, with the game meant to be left online and playable.
Fans remained vocal despite Bungie's and Sony's decision appearing set in stone, and Destiny 2 was recently given a second life.
