The Final Shape Raid Date
Hey everyone. We wanted to talk about why The Final Shape raid is going live shortly after release on June 7. We know this is a tight turnaround and wanted to share some context on why we made this decision. Back in August, we said that finishing the campaign would not be the grand finale of the Light and Darkness saga. You will be facing off against the Witness in the raid, and for non-raiders there will be an opportunity for everyone to experience the conclusion sometime after the raid.
The Final Shape expansion is different: the additional content in the Pale Heart post-campaign and unlocking the raid for everyone is important for getting a cohesive and satisfying story experience. We're looking at you, raiders, to be the tip of the spear. 👀
When raid day arrives, no matter if you choose to go in for Contest mode in the first 48 hours or wait for Normal mode to unlock, in order to experience the story linearly and as intended, you need to have the campaign completed and finish the quest 'Wild Card'. Prioritize those!
Episode Echoes story, the beginning of the next journey starts in week two.

3 RepliesDestiny 2’s raid releases have been on the second Saturday after the expansion’s release for five years now. 5 years is a long time to set precedent and then suddenly rip the rug out from people. Since this changes the player population for raids have increased, the numbers for contest mode attempts have increased, and the contest mode clears have increased. Bungie makes the claim that they want to inspire more people to attempt raids and the contest mode releases, and then implements decisions like this that fly in the face to those claims. This decision only negatively impacts TFS’s release & release hype. TFS’s raid should be released on Saturday, June 15th and run for 48hrs. All numbers are sourced from raid report. Prior to 2020 when all raids were released 3 days after the expansion : Average contest mode raid attempts - 168,614.2 Average contest mode raid clears - 33,939 After 2020 when all raids were released on the 2nd Saturday after the expansion : Average contest mode raid attempts - 377,851.5 Average contest mode raid clears - 47,432.3 The last raid prior to 2020’s release change = Garden of Salvation Attempts = 116,783 Clears = 549 The last raid since 2020’s release change = Crota’s End Attempts = 403,050 Clears = 19,362
