A Festive Surprise: Unexpected Decorations Light Up Destiny 1's Tower

Seven years after its prime, Destiny 1's Tower has received a mysterious and unexpected makeover. Players are reporting festive lighting and decorations adorning the iconic social space, a surprising update to a game largely superseded by its sequel.

While Destiny 2 has flourished with continuous updates and expansions, a dedicated community still enjoys the original Destiny. Bungie's ongoing efforts to integrate legacy content, including raids and exotic weapons, into Destiny 2, highlight the enduring appeal of the first game. This unexpected update within the Tower adds another layer to this legacy.

The unannounced decorations, first noticed on January 5th, feature Ghost-shaped lights reminiscent of past seasonal events like The Dawning. However, the lack of snow and unique banners suggest a deviation from previous events. No new quests or in-game messages accompanied the update, adding to its enigmatic nature.

A Forgotten Event's Resurrection?

The community is buzzing with speculation, particularly around a scrapped event titled "Days of the Dawning," originally planned for 2016. Reddit users, such as Breshi, have highlighted the striking similarity between unused assets from this cancelled event and the current Tower decorations. This leads many to believe the decorations are remnants of a forgotten schedule entry, a temporary placeholder that somehow activated.

Bungie has yet to comment on this unexpected event. The year 2017 marked a significant shift, with all live events transitioning to Destiny 2. This accidental update, therefore, offers a unique and temporary experience for players before Bungie inevitably removes it. Enjoy the unexpected festive cheer while it lasts!
