Destiny 1 Gets Surprising Update Seven Years Later

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 surprise, seemingly accidental, has captivated players and sparked speculation within the community.

The original Destiny, while still accessible, largely faded into the background following the 2017 launch of Destiny 2. While Bungie has consistently added legacy content from Destiny 1 into its sequel – including popular raids and exotic weapons – this unannounced update to the Tower is a unique occurrence.

The unexpected decorations, first noticed on January 5th, feature Ghost-shaped lights reminiscent of past Destiny seasonal events like The Dawning. However, unlike previous events, the Tower lacks snow, and the banners are distinct. No new quests or in-game messages accompanied the update, adding to its enigmatic nature.

A Resurfaced Scrapped Event?

The lack of official explanation from Bungie has fueled fan theories. Many point to a cancelled event, "Days of the Dawning," originally slated for 2016. Reddit users, such as Breshi, have highlighted the striking similarity between unused assets from this scrapped event and the current Tower decorations. The theory suggests a forgotten future date was assigned to the event's assets, unintentionally triggering their activation.

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 festive makeover in Destiny 1's Tower offers a nostalgic and temporary treat for players before Bungie likely removes it. For now, players can enjoy this unexpected blast from the past.
