Destiny 1 Revival: Major Update Revives Beloved Game

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 unannounced addition has captivated players, sparking speculation about its origins.

Destiny 1, though still accessible, largely ceded the spotlight to its sequel, Destiny 2, in 2017. While Destiny 2 thrives with continuous updates, a dedicated fanbase still cherishes the original game. Bungie has consistently reintroduced classic Destiny content into Destiny 2, including raids and exotic weapons. However, this recent Tower update is entirely unexpected.

On January 5th, players discovered the unexpected decorations. Ghost-shaped lights, reminiscent of past seasonal events like The Dawning, adorned the Tower. However, the familiar snowy atmosphere was absent, and the banners differed from previous events. Crucially, no new quests or in-game messages accompanied the update.

A Resurfaced Scrapped Event?

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 bear a striking resemblance to the current Tower decorations. It's speculated that the event was mistakenly scheduled for a future date, with the assumption that Destiny 1 would be offline by then.

As of this writing, Bungie has yet to comment on the unexpected update. The year 2017 marked a significant shift for the franchise, with all live events transitioning to Destiny 2. While this isn't an official event, players are encouraged to enjoy this unexpected treat before it's potentially removed.
