In Destiny, Bungie discusses the near future of the MMO shooter.
The Bungie team returns from winter break. Community Manager Cozmo reached out to the Guardians a few hours ago, wishing everyone a happy new year and revealing that the developers are trickling back into the studio one by one.
Cozmo shares that Bungie is now preparing for another year of Destiny. They have planned a year full of adventures for the Guardians.
For some Guardians, hope is growing: There won’t be a content drought until the release of Destiny 2. It is expected that the Destiny sequel will be released in fall 2017 – but what will be offered in the MMO shooter until then remains uncertain.
When does the January Iron Banner start?
Yesterday, on January 3rd, the gate to the back tower area opened with the weekly reset. Some players hoped that this could be a hint at the return of the Iron Banner. In the meantime, DeeJ mentioned that the gate is open for you to grab the spirit. So, the Iron Banner did not start yesterday.
Cozmo has now announced that the next “This Week at Bungie” community letter will be released on January 12. However, there won’t be any major revelations on that day. So, we should not expect to learn about “the adventures” in 2017 just yet.
However, they will discuss the rituals that occur weekly and monthly in Destiny. The monthly “ritual” can only refer to the Iron Banner. If Bungie talks about it on January 12, the January Iron Banner would start on January 17.
Which weekly ritual they will talk about remains to be seen. On Reddit, some Guardians speculate that the Trials of Osiris could be involved and that Bungie will slam the guidelines for a balance patch. However, this can only be speculated about at the moment.
You can find out what you can accomplish this week in our “Weekly Reset” article.
