A Festive Surprise: Unexpected Decorations Light Up Destiny 1's Tower
Seven years after its initial release, Destiny 1's Tower has received a mysterious, unannounced update featuring festive lights and decorations. This unexpected addition has captivated players, sparking speculation and excitement within the community. The original Destiny, while still accessible, largely faded into the background after the launch of Destiny 2 in 2017.
While Destiny 2 has thrived with consistent updates and expansions, nostalgia for the original game persists. Bungie has reintroduced legacy content, including classic raids and exotic weapons, into Destiny 2, demonstrating a continued appreciation for the franchise's roots. However, this latest development in Destiny 1 was entirely unforeseen.
On January 5th, players began reporting unusual decorations in the Tower hub zone. Ghost-shaped lights, reminiscent of past seasonal events like The Dawning, adorned the space. However, unlike previous events, the Tower lacked snow, and the banners displayed differed from those seen in prior celebrations. No new quests or in-game messages accompanied these changes, adding to the mystery.
A Forgotten Event Emerges?
The lack of official communication from Bungie has fueled speculation among players. Reddit users, including Breshi, have pointed to a scrapped event, "Days of the Dawning," originally planned for 2016. Unused assets from this cancelled event bear a striking resemblance to the current decorations in the Tower. The theory suggests that a placeholder future date may have been assigned to these assets, leading to their unexpected reappearance.
As of this writing, Bungie has remained 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, serves as a delightful, albeit temporary, surprise for players who log in to the original Destiny. Enjoy the unexpected festive atmosphere before it's inevitably removed.
