Destiny: Patch 1.2.0 is no longer coming tonight [Update]

In the MMO shooter Destiny, a patch was scheduled for this evening, Tuesday, May 12th. The update 1.2.0 was supposed to be activated. That will not happen now.

People were already wondering why it was so quiet today. An update was actually announced for this evening “sometime after 7 PM”. That will not happen, as Bungie tweets. The plans have changed, and they will reveal more soon. If that is the case, we will of course inform you.

Our patch schedule for House of Wolves has changed slightly. 1.2.0 will not deploy today. Please stand by for more information. Game on.

The patch 1.2.0 is expected to bring changes to the Crucible. However, we will only know for sure when the patch notes are available. It is assumed that it will increase Crucible rewards and make the three Darkness-lurks maps playable for everyone.

One thing has already changed this evening; the new cinematic for House of Wolves is visible.

For now, it seems: You can play in peace and enjoy the new weekly reset. It does not appear that interruptions are to be expected here.

Update May 13th, 7:00 PM: There is now more information from Bungie. Apparently, there was a bug, a “technical difficulty,” which could have had severe impacts. Currently, Bungie is working on fixing this bug. There is still no timeline for when patch 1.2.0 will come. The community manager wants to at least update the situation once a day until it is resolved.

It does not look like it will come today, Wednesday, May 13th.
