Destiny 1 Gets Surprising Update Seven Years Later

Destiny 1's Tower Receives Unexpected Festive Makeover

Seven years after its initial release, Destiny's Tower social space has unexpectedly received a holiday-themed update, complete with festive lights and decorations. This surprise update, occurring in the original Destiny game, has baffled players and sparked speculation within the community.

While Destiny 2 has become the flagship title, receiving continuous updates and expansions, the original Destiny remains accessible. Bungie has consistently reintroduced legacy content from Destiny 1 into its sequel, but this latest addition is entirely unannounced.

The unexpected decorations, noticed by players on January 5th, feature Ghost-shaped lights reminiscent of past seasonal events like The Dawning. However, unlike previous events, there are no accompanying quests or in-game messages. The lack of accompanying event details adds to the mystery.

A Forgotten Event Emerges?

Theories abound regarding this mysterious update. Reddit users, including Breshi, point to a cancelled event known as "Days of the Dawning," originally slated for 2016. Unused assets from this scrapped event bear a striking resemblance to the current decorations in the Tower. This suggests the update may be a remnant of this cancelled event, inadvertently scheduled for a future date and overlooked until now.

Bungie has yet to officially comment on this unexpected development. Given the shift in focus to Destiny 2 in 2017, when all live events transitioned to the sequel, this unannounced update is a surprising and welcome discovery for players of the original game. Players are encouraged to log in and experience this unexpected festive atmosphere before Bungie potentially removes it.
