Destiny 2 Servers Down As Bungie Prepares Season Of Dawn Update
Those hoping to get one final Vex Offensive run in are out of luck: Destiny 2 servers are down for maintenance, officially marking the end of the Season of the Undying. Fortunately, once servers are back online, there will be new content to check out. Specifically, the next season, Season of Dawn, officially begins today, December 10. Here’s when servers are expected to be back online and when Season of Dawn will be underway.
Maintenance is ongoing, although if you were already online, you’ll be able to keep playing for a short while longer–you’ll be booted at 8:45 AM PT / 11:45 AM ET. No one will be able to log in to the game until 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET, at which point Season of Dawn and its new content should be available. During the downtime, Bungie will release update 2.7.0–that’s expected to arrive at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET, so you can get it downloading then to ensure you can begin playing right when servers are back online. Full patch notes have not yet been released, though they were recently previewed in some detail, with changes to Exotics, an increased Power cap, and more.
Once servers are back, you’ll see that a bunch of Season of the Undying content has disappeared in favor of Season of Dawn’s new activities and offerings. Some of this will be available for free to all players, while other bits will require you to either purchase this season or the year-long season pass.
Destiny 1 and 2 maintenance has begun. Players will be removed from activities at 8:45 AM PST and will be unable to log in until 10 AM. Update 2.7.0 will be available to download at 9 AM.

Be prepared to potentially encounter some issues once you are playing. Bungie’s Twitter support account offered a rundown on some of the known issues that may be encountered, such as receiving a CHICKEN error when first logging in once you have update 2.7.0 installed. In that case, the fix is easy: Simply restart the game. Other problems are unavoidable, like issues with the requirements for certain triumphs; as a result, Bungie will lower the requirements in a future update.
More notable are some of the Season of Dawn-specific problems. When playing the new Sundial activity, you should stick around–heading back to orbit too quickly can cause progress not to register for the A Matter of Time quest step. Additionally, you’ll need to link an Obelisk to the Sundial for the activity to net you any completion rewards.
You can check out the series of tweets below, and we’ll report back with any further problems that emerge.
These Season 9 Triumphs will be fixed in a future update and requirements will be lowered:
💠”Challenges” won’t progress with weekly challenge completion
💠”Rituals” won’t progress with weekly Gambit bounties or Infamy ranks
💠”Engagement” won’t progress with banked motes (6/7)— Bungie Help (@BungieHelp) December 10, 2019
💠 Players must have linked an Obelisk to the Sundial to receive rewards at the end of the activity.
💠 Season of the Undying seasonal currency is not deleted from the Postmaster when the season ends. Players can manually delete this seasonal currency. (3/7)— Bungie Help (@BungieHelp) December 10, 2019
💠 Progress may not count towards the “A Matter of Time” quest step if players return to orbit too quickly after completing the Sundial activity.
💠 The shields of Barrier Champions will not disappear if a player is using Divinity. (5/7)— Bungie Help (@BungieHelp) December 10, 2019
💠 The seal for the “Savior” title incorrectly lists a requirement of 28 triumphs completed to unlock. The seal will unlock after completing the 15 triumphs listed in the seal contents.
💠 When standing in front of the Obelisk, players can be killed by enemies. (4/7)— Bungie Help (@BungieHelp) December 10, 2019
