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 and unexpected update, adorned with festive lights and decorations. This unannounced addition, discovered by players on January 5th, has sparked considerable speculation within the community.
While Destiny 2 has since become the primary focus of Bungie's efforts, the original Destiny remains playable. Bungie regularly incorporates legacy content into Destiny 2, but this Tower update is entirely unexpected. Players logging in found Ghost-shaped lights reminiscent of past seasonal events like The Dawning, though without the usual accompanying snow or event banners. No new quests or in-game messages accompanied the decorations, adding to the mystery.
A Resurrected Scrapped Event?
Theories abound regarding the source of this surprise update. Reddit users, such as Breshi, have pointed to a cancelled event, "Days of the Dawning," originally planned for 2016. Unused assets from this scrapped event strikingly resemble the current Tower decorations. The prevailing theory suggests a forgotten future date was assigned to the event's code, leading to its accidental reactivation. Bungie likely assumed Destiny 1 would be offline by this time.
As of now, Bungie has not commented on this unexpected event. The update's temporary nature is likely, considering the shift to Destiny 2 in 2017. However, for now, Destiny 1 players can enjoy this nostalgic and unplanned festive surprise before it's inevitably removed.
