Destiny 1 Gets Surprising Update Seven Years Later

Author : Nora Jan 24,2025

Mysterious Festive Lighting Illuminates Destiny 1's Tower

Seven years after its initial release, Destiny's iconic Tower social space has received an unexpected and unexplained festive makeover. The surprise update, noticed by players on January 5th, features Ghost-shaped lights reminiscent of past seasonal events, though without the usual accompanying snow or event banners. This unexpected addition has left the community buzzing with speculation.

The original Destiny, while still accessible, largely faded into the background following the 2017 launch of Destiny 2. While Bungie continues to integrate legacy content into the sequel, this spontaneous update to the Tower remains a complete enigma. The lack of in-game prompts or quest indicators suggests it's not a planned event.

A Forgotten Relic?

Theories abound, with many pointing towards a cancelled event codenamed "Days of the Dawning." Reddit user Breshi's analysis of unused game assets suggests a strong visual correlation between these scrapped elements and the current Tower decorations. The prevailing hypothesis is that a placeholder date for the removal of these assets was mistakenly set far into the future, a time when Bungie likely anticipated Destiny 1 would be offline.

Bungie's Silence

As of this writing, Bungie has not commented on this unexpected development. The update's temporary nature is likely, given the studio's focus has shifted entirely to Destiny 2 since 2017. However, for now, players are enjoying this nostalgic, albeit accidental, holiday surprise in the original Destiny before it's inevitably removed. This unexpected event serves as a charming reminder of the enduring legacy of the original game and its dedicated community.
