Destiny 1 Gets Surprising Update Seven Years Later

Destiny 1's Tower Mysteriously Updated with Festive Lights

Seven years after its prime, Destiny 1's Tower social space has received an unexpected and unexplained festive makeover. The update, featuring Ghost-shaped lights reminiscent of past seasonal events like The Dawning, has baffled players. The decorations lack the snow associated with The Dawning and feature unique banners, suggesting a connection to a different, possibly scrapped event. No new quests or in-game messages accompany the surprise update.

This accidental update has sparked speculation among Destiny players. Many believe it's linked to a canceled event, "Days of the Dawning," planned for 2016. Unused assets from this event closely resemble the current Tower decorations, leading players to theorize that a placeholder date was mistakenly set in the game's code, causing the unexpected reappearance. The theory suggests Bungie likely assumed Destiny 1 would be offline by this time.

As of now, Bungie has remained silent on the matter. The original Destiny, while still accessible, largely ceased receiving updates after Destiny 2's launch in 2017. This unexpected surprise offers players a nostalgic glimpse into Destiny 1's past, though its temporary nature suggests the decorations will likely be removed soon. Until then, players are encouraged to enjoy this unexpected blast from the past.
