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 surprising addition, seemingly accidental, has captivated players and sparked speculation within the community.
While Destiny 2 has taken center stage, attracting significant attention and updates, the original Destiny remains accessible. Bungie has consistently incorporated legacy content from Destiny 1 into its sequel, enriching the Destiny 2 experience. However, this recent Tower update caught players completely off guard.
On January 5th, players began reporting unusual decorations within the Tower social space. Ghost-shaped lights, reminiscent of past seasonal events like The Dawning, appeared, although without the accompanying snow or familiar event banners. The absence of new quests or in-game notifications further added to the mystery.
A Resurfaced Scrapped Event?
The lack of official communication from Bungie has fueled fan theories. Reddit users, including Breshi, pointed towards a canceled event, "Days of the Dawning," originally planned for 2016. Unused assets from this scrapped event closely resemble the current decorations in the Tower. This suggests a possible explanation: a placeholder date in the future for the removal of these assets, a date long past, which Bungie may have overlooked given the game's age.
As of now, 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 unexpected update in Destiny 1, therefore, serves as a delightful, albeit temporary, surprise for players before Bungie inevitably removes it. Enjoy the unexpected festive cheer while it lasts!
