Bungie has confirmed in its latest update that the Valentine’s Day-themed Destiny Crimson Days event will not be making a return this year.
While this may come as a disappointment for those of you who were looking forward to taking part in another time-based event, the team did say that it is busy working on something else for the shared-world shooter for the spring.
“We have other plans. We’re dedicating our efforts to delivering different things for you to play. … You haven’t heard the last from the Live Team,” commented David Dague, community manager for Bungie. “Their next content update is taking shape. We’re super excited to tell you about it – but not so excited that we’ll jump the gun. There will come a time when we’ll take a seat on our streaming set to talk about how we’ll spend the springtime together. That moment will come closer to the thaw.”
“It’s rarely our policy to issue guarantees about things that are not yet certified for download. Given the work that is being done behind the scenes, however, we feel like we can start to call the shot.”
Destiny was released in 2014 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. Despite a shaky start, the game quickly gained a loyal following, with Bungie launching a series of expansion packs throughout its first year: The Dark Below, House of Wolves, and The Taken King. In addition, the former Halo developer also kept players entertained with time-based events such as Festival of the Lost and the Sparrow Racing League, while September 2016 saw the launch of the biggest DLC drop to date in the shape of Rise of Iron.
Looking ahead, publisher Activision has announced that Destiny 2 is currently in production and is due to ship at some point in 2017. While not much is known about the sequel at present, it has been suggested that characters such as Xur and the Cryptarch will play a larger role in the storyline.
