Destiny will be offline for several hours next week. Bungie announces maintenance work.
Update: The maintenance has been postponed.
With a one-day delay, the “This Week at Bungie” has been released. As expected, a large part of the weekly letter to the community focuses on the gameplay premiere of Destiny 2, which was revealed yesterday by several well-known YouTubers and streamers.
Specifically: Bungie and Activision invite several community representatives to the gameplay reveal on May 18 in California. They will be able to test Destiny 2, capture gameplay footage, and publish it on their YouTube channels soon after. The gameplay will take place on PS4 and PC. Additionally, the invitation cards from the developers stated: “Welcome to a world without light”. All info can be found in the provided link.
DeeJ now writes that the gameplay premiere of Destiny 2 will be quite a big deal for Bungie. Currently, everything is being prepared, they are fixing some bugs and getting ready to put on an incredible show. It should be worth following this on the stream. We at Mein-MMO.de will of course cover this.
Maintenance on May 4
Important for planning next week’s evening:
On May 4 – that is Thursday – the servers will be offline from 7 PM to approximately 11 PM. A long maintenance will take place.
This downtime will not bring any changes to the game content. It has been a while since Bungie conducted scheduled maintenance with several hours of downtime. They will likely use the time to clean things up in the background. Bungie promises that support for Destiny 1 will continue beyond the release of Destiny 2.
More info from “This Week at Bungie”:
- The Bungie forum has been revamped. You can now select multiple languages, including German. This is another step to bring together players who play Destiny.
- The Destiny Companion app has also received an update: there are now stickers in Destiny style.
- DeeJ concludes by mentioning that not all invitations for the gameplay reveal of Destiny 2 have been sent out yet. “Maybe you will also be there”.
