Destiny 1's Tower Mysteriously Decorated in Unexpected Update
Seven years after its initial release, Destiny's original Tower social space has received a surprising update featuring festive lights and decorations. This unexpected addition, discovered by players on January 5th, has sparked considerable speculation within the community. The decorations bear a resemblance to past seasonal events, particularly The Dawning, but lack the usual accompanying quests or in-game announcements.
The original Destiny, while still accessible, largely faded into the background following the launch of Destiny 2 in 2017. While Bungie continues to integrate legacy content into the sequel, this unannounced update to the original game's Tower remains a complete enigma.
Theories abound, with many pointing to a potentially scrapped event known as "Days of the Dawning," originally slated for 2016. Reddit user Breshi and others have highlighted the striking similarity between unused assets from this cancelled event and the current Tower decorations. The prevailing theory suggests that a placeholder date was mistakenly set in the future, leading to this accidental activation years later.
As of this writing, Bungie has yet to comment on the situation. Given the game's age and the transition to Destiny 2 in 2017, it remains unclear whether this festive surprise will be a permanent addition or a temporary glitch destined for removal. For now, players are encouraged to log in and experience this unexpected blast from the past before any changes occur.
