Destiny 1's Tower Mysteriously Updated with Festive Lights
Seven years after its initial release, Destiny 1's iconic Tower social space has received an unexpected, albeit temporary, makeover. Players have discovered the zone adorned with lights and decorations, a surprise update that has captivated the community. This unannounced addition comes as a complete shock, especially given that Destiny 1's live events transitioned to Destiny 2 in 2017.
While Destiny 2 continues to thrive with regular updates and expansions, many players still hold a fondness for the original game. Bungie has periodically reintroduced legacy content into Destiny 2, including popular raids and exotic weapons, but this latest development is entirely unique.
The unexpected update, first noticed on January 5th, features Ghost-shaped lights reminiscent of past Destiny seasonal events, such as The Dawning. However, unlike previous events, the Tower lacks snow, and the banners are distinct. Crucially, no new quests or in-game messages accompany the decorations, adding to the mystery.
A Forgotten Event Resurfaces?
The community's speculation points towards a scrapped event, tentatively titled "Days of the Dawning," initially planned for 2016. Reddit user Breshi and others have highlighted the striking similarity between unused assets from this canceled event and the current Tower decorations. The theory suggests a placeholder date far in the future might have been accidentally activated, revealing these long-forgotten assets.
Bungie has yet to comment on this surprising update. Given the game's legacy status and the shift to Destiny 2 in 2017, it's unclear whether this is a deliberate, albeit delayed, addition or a simple oversight. For now, Destiny 1 players are encouraged to log in and enjoy this unexpected festive surprise before it's likely removed.
