Destiny Down on March 24

Bungie is about to roll out a new update for Destiny 2  today, but before that happens, the servers need to be taken down for maintenance.

Same as before, expect the servers to be offline for a few hours, during which time, the game will be inaccessible.

Once the servers are back up, expect a client download for a host of new fixes for Destiny 2.
