The last chapter of Destiny 1 was announced on March 3rd: Age of Triumph or in German “Zeitalter des Triumphs”. What clues can be drawn from the published screenshots?
Yesterday, on March 3rd, was the long-awaited “big reveal” for the next content update of Destiny. This reveal generally indicated that the actual reveal will be next Wednesday: Bungie intends to speak in a livestream about the upcoming and final content for Destiny 1: “Age of Triumph”. In the following weeks, there will be two more livestreams where Bungie will extensively celebrate their “reveal policy”.
Quite surprising for many: Bungie spoke for the first time about Destiny 2 and that the hard reset is indeed coming. Only the appearance of your Guardians can be “carried over”. You can find the information about Destiny 2 here.
Back to “Age of Triumph”. Concrete information has not yet been provided by Bungie; instead, they refer to the three livestreams. They only stated that this content update is from the live team and shall represent a worthy conclusion of Destiny 1. The release will be at the end of March. It should be March 28th.
Raids are coming back – No more doubts, right?
Are there really no other details on “Age of Triumph”? Yes! A total of four images have been published in the reveal article that give a glimpse of the contents of the Age of Triumph. Let’s take a closer look at them.
The first image is the large banner of “Age of Triumph”. Above this banner, it says “Aetas Triumph I”. Aetas is from Latin and denotes a time that someone has experienced – so a life age, a lifetime.
The banner features various symbols, including the Destiny logo. Particularly interesting is the emblem in the top left:
In it, there are undoubtedly symbols that represent the old raids. In the top left is the Vault of Glass, the two swords next to it represent the Crota raid, on the bottom left are “King’s Fall” symbols, thus representing the King’s Raid. The area on the bottom right is likely for “Wrath of the Machine”. Below there are also three jump ships visible.
If the raids are featured in the banner of a new event, any last doubts about all the old raids returning should be resolved – and not just the Vault of Glass, which two other screenshots refer to.
The next image shows a Praetorian in front of the entrance of the Vault of Glass.
The next screenshot shows the weekly “Age of Triumph” rituals. The two symbols on the right are particularly interesting. From left to right:
- Weekly Crucible playlist
- Daily mission
- Weekly heroic strike playlist
- Nightfall strike
- This symbol is not familiar to many Guardians. It is a slight variation of the Challenge of the Elders symbol. Grab an Elders Seal in-game and check out the symbol that is now displayed above the CoE. This certainly refers to a weekly activity in the Prison. In other words: This PvE activity will be elevated.
- On the far right is the raid symbol. Raids will also receive a new activity on a weekly basis. It is possible that extra rewards can be earned each week in a different raid. However, we can only speculate about that at the moment.
The last image that Bungie published shows a hunter in new armor that looks quite “mechanical”. Many Guardians are certain that this is “Vault of Glass” armor. Moreover, the Guardian in the image is in the Glass Chamber.
Have you noticed any further clues?
