Destiny's Tower Receives a Mysterious Festive Makeover
Seven years after its initial release, Destiny's iconic Tower social space has unexpectedly received a festive update, complete with lights and decorations. This surprise, discovered by players on January 5th, has sparked much speculation among the community. The decorations bear a striking resemblance to past seasonal events, specifically The Dawning, although key elements like snow are absent. No in-game prompts or quests accompany the update, adding to the mystery.
This accidental update might be linked to a cancelled event, "Days of the Dawning," originally planned for 2016. Unused assets from this scrapped event, as highlighted by Reddit user Breshi, closely match the current Tower decorations. The theory suggests a placeholder date was set for the event's removal, a date that has now arrived, unexpectedly reactivating the dormant assets.
Bungie, the game's developer, has yet to comment on this unexpected development. The update is a pleasant surprise for players of the original Destiny, a game that continues to hold a special place in the hearts of many despite the launch of its successful sequel, Destiny 2. While Destiny 2 has received continuous updates and expansions, the original Destiny remains playable, with Bungie occasionally adding legacy content. This unexpected festive touch serves as a delightful, albeit temporary, reminder of the original game's charm. Players are encouraged to log in and enjoy this unexpected treat before Bungie removes it.
