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

Seven years after its initial release, Destiny 1's Tower has received an unexpected and mysterious update, featuring festive lights and decorations. This surprise, occurring in a game largely superseded by its sequel, Destiny 2, has captivated players.

While Destiny 2 continues to thrive with regular content updates, a dedicated community still engages with the original game. This community recently discovered the unannounced additions to the Tower social space. On January 5th, players reported seeing Ghost-shaped lights reminiscent of past seasonal events like The Dawning, albeit without the usual snow and with unique banners. No new quests or in-game messages accompanied the decorations, adding to the mystery.

A Ghost of Events Past?

The lack of official communication from Bungie has fueled speculation. Reddit users, including Breshi, pointed towards a cancelled event, "Days of the Dawning," originally planned for 2016. Unused assets from this scrapped event strikingly resemble the current Tower decorations. The theory suggests a forgotten future date was assigned to the event's removal, a date Bungie likely overlooked given Destiny 1's presumed obsolescence.

As of this writing, Bungie remains silent. The update's temporary nature is highly probable, especially considering the franchise's shift to Destiny 2 in 2017. This unexpected festive surprise offers a nostalgic moment for players before the decorations are inevitably removed. Until then, enjoy the unexpected holiday cheer in the original Destiny's Tower.
