In Destiny 2, the Crimson Week is being postponed. Guardians are now puzzling over the event rewards. What is going on?
What happened? At the end of last year, Bungie communicated the content for the year 2019 based on a large roadmap. There was also a specific date for the Crimson Week – the Valentine’s Day event of Destiny 2.
As Bungie announced in the current “This Week at Bungie” blog, the event will be postponed.
When does Crimson Week start? The new start date for Crimson Week is now February 12. The event is expected to run for a week until February 19. Originally, the start was scheduled for February 5.
What is Crimson Week all about? Crimson Week is essentially the Valentine’s Day event for Destiny 2 and was introduced in the predecessor. The Tower dresses itself in festive colors of love, and Guardians can then test their bonds with their best friends.
The highlight of last year’s event was a 2v2 Crucible playlist, where you could showcase your teamwork with a friend over the course of a week. During the festival, Guardians could snag various event-exclusive rewards, such as
- Ghost Shells
- Sparrows
- Emotes
- Shaders
- or Weapon Ornaments
What is known so far about Crimson Week: In the current TWaB, Bungie has revealed the first details about this year’s festival of love in Destiny 2.
The upcoming event is supposed to resemble last year’s festival. Those who didn’t get everything they wanted during last Crimson Week are in luck, according to Bungie. Because soon there will be another chance to snag rewards that are specifically for Crimson Week.
However, they also have some new rewards in store and there will be new ways to obtain them. Detailed information is expected to come soon.
This is what fans are currently pondering: Currently, fans are puzzled over a specific phrasing from Bungie.
The studio basically says that the event is supposed to be similar to last year. At the same time, Bungie mentions that it will apparently be possible to obtain rewards from last year’s Crimson Week. They have also added some new prizes.
Fans are now wondering what this statement could mean.
Some fear that there will mostly be “old stuff” from last year, supplemented by a few new prizes. For newcomers who don’t know the event from last year, this could be quite interesting, but veterans might feel shortchanged this time, as there may not be much new content, according to the fears of some players.
Others hope that Bungie will offer many new rewards and that all prizes from last year can also be earned. This way, there would be a large event loot pool, which would be attractive for both veterans and newcomers. But newcomers would also have the chance to catch up on everything they missed during last year’s festival.
Fans are now hoping that the upcoming official presentation of the event will bring clarity.
Do you also think there could mostly be old stuff from last year? Does the separation from Activision possibly already show its first effects here?
