In short: Many were curious and hopeful whether there could still be a surprise as part of the Halloween celebration.
Bungie clarifies the situation
Here’s what Bungie has to say: This discussion has not gone unnoticed by Bungie and the studio quickly and decisively provided clarity. The community manager dmg04 spoke out on the matter – also on Twitter.
There he clarified: They want to set the expectations straight. There will be no special event. The action is a trivia competition for the mentioned regions – thus for Japan and South Korea.
However, something could still happen: Even though the surprise at the Festival of the Lost has fallen through – at another point, there could soon be an undisclosed event – namely at the end of the ongoing Season 11. There are indeed hints that the Season of Arrival could also end with a big closing event, just like Season 10.
