Destiny 1 Update Amidst Expansion Announcement

A Festive Surprise: Unexpected Decorations Appear in Destiny 1's Tower

Seven years after its initial release, Destiny 1's Tower has received a mysterious and unexpected update, featuring festive lights and decorations. This surprise, seemingly accidental, has captivated players and sparked speculation within the community.

Destiny 1, though still accessible, largely ceded its spotlight to Destiny 2 in 2017. While Destiny 2 has thrived with continuous updates and expansions, a dedicated fanbase still cherishes the original game. Bungie's ongoing integration of legacy content, including classic raids and exotic weapons, further fuels this nostalgia. However, this recent Tower update is entirely unexpected.

On January 5th, players began reporting unusual additions to the Tower social space. Ghost-shaped lights, reminiscent of past seasonal events like The Dawning, adorned the area. However, unlike previous events, the Tower lacked snow, and the banners differed. Crucially, no new quests or in-game notifications accompanied these changes.

A Ghost of an Event Past?

The lack of official communication from Bungie has fueled fan theories. Reddit users, including Breshi, pointed towards a cancelled event, "Days of the Dawning," originally planned for 2016. Unused assets from this scrapped event strikingly resemble the current Tower decorations. The theory suggests that a placeholder future date might have been assigned to the event's code, leading to its unexpected reappearance. Bungie likely assumed Destiny 1 would be offline by this time.

As of this writing, Bungie remains silent on the matter. The year 2017 marked a significant shift for the franchise, with all live events transitioning to Destiny 2. This accidental update, therefore, offers a unique, albeit temporary, nostalgic experience for players before Bungie inevitably removes it. Enjoy the unexpected festive cheer while it lasts!
