This week at Bungie, we begin to prepare for Cross Play!

Welcome to another installment of the TWAB. We have four more of these before the August 24 reveal! Wait a second... we only have four? Including this one? Oh wow. We have a bit to get through.

Let’s start with something that’s going on in the game right now. Solstice of Heroes. Our annual Solstice event is coming to an end next Tuesday, August 3. You have a little under five days to complete your armor objectives. White glows don’t have a deadline, so if you’re still gathering orbs (and objectives), take your time. Dungeons, Raids, and Competitive Crucible objectives for the glows can be completed any time.



Still with me? Cool. Let’s start looking at the future. We hosted a beta for this a few months back, but we’re happy to share more details about an upcoming feature that players have been asking for since Destiny first arrived: Cross Play.

This week at Bungie, we march on.

It’s already late July. Can you believe it? Seems like 2020 lasted about 5 years but 2021 seems to be moving along at a better rate. Who says time is a constant?

Anyway, Solstice of Heroes is going strong. Have you upgraded your armor yet? Next week is the final week of the event so go check out the EAZ and earn that armor before the event ends on 8/3. We had a lot to go over last week with a preview of ritual reputation changes coming next Season. It’s a little lighter this week but we do have some important info about the new Bungie Store and some changes to Armor Synthesis. Let’s get to it.

This week at Bungie, we talk rituals and reputation.

Week two of Solstice of Heroes began. Between celebrating your accomplishments over the last year and a return of sunlight to the Last City, things are feeling pretty good. Make sure to pack some sunscreen on your way to the EAZ. Wouldn’t want you to get sunburnt.

We have six weeks until a new Season. There are many of us who have an insatiable appetite for content, but there’s always going to be some time to relax during the Seasons of Destiny. Gives folks time to catch up, or just take a breather from our fight against the Darkness. We think it’s about time we start trickling out some fun details. A few little snacks here and there, or a few bite-sized treats to enjoy if you aren’t still chewing on a Season full of Overrides, Expunges, and more.

This week, our Season 15 appetizers come in the form of ritual reputation updates. Hit the jump for all of the details.

This week at Bungie, we set a date.

No, we aren’t getting married, but we did send out a save the date. Mark down August 24 in your novelty paper calendars that you bought from that mall kiosk. Or maybe save a reminder in your phone if you have abandoned physical calendars altogether. We are looking forward to sharing more with you about the future of Destiny 2. See you then.



Back to the present. A new update went live this week and Solstice of Heroes has kicked off. Guardians are buzzing around the European Aerial Zone chasing after chests and upgrading their armor as we speak. That’s not all, Vault of Glass Master difficulty also became available this weekend for all players. You can get a rundown of what to expect from last week’s TWAB.

The Last City of humanity is built, not from iron and stone, but of heroism and bravery. Join your fellow Guardians and remember those who stood in defense of our home. Eva Levante awaits you in the Tower with words of gratitude and the promise of celebration. 




Join high-flying fireteams as you soar across the European Aerial Zone in search of glory and treasure. The sky’s the limit on how many bosses you defeat and how many caches you unlock. Well... the sky and the clock. Make haste, Guardians. 




Earn class-specific Solstice armor and improve its quality by adventuring through a variety of objectives. Once fully upgraded, the glow from this Legendary armor will guide your fireteam through even the darkest of nights. 




Each day will challenge you to match your attacks to the daily element in order to charge one of four unique elemental buffs. On Prism days, all four buffs can charge but only one can be activated at a time. Choose your subclass wisely. 




Although glowing Solstice armor does a good job of stealing the show, it isn’t the only prize to chase. There’s a new Legendary Shotgun, new Exotic Ghost Shell, new emblem, and plenty of Solstice Packages to unlock. 



Start celebrating with earning a new emblem for completing the introductory journey. Then complete the final Solstice armor set to unlock the exclusive 2021 Solstice of Heroes shirt for purchase. 








Adorn any of your Legendary armor with universal ornaments that glow to match your subclass – available for Silver or Bright Dust! There are also new ships, Sparrows, and eye-catching cosmetics to collect. 

This week at Bungie, we prepare for Solstice of Heroes 2021!

It’s almost time for a celebration. Earlier this week, Guardians pushed back against the Endless Night. Through relentless Overrides and adventures to Expunge the Vex network, Quria was found and deleted. While larger threats to humanity remain, one can take a moment to breathe and rest easy knowing that the people of the Last City are safer. In the wise words of Sant-14, it is time for celebration. Solstice of Heroes is the perfect moment for that.



A big party in the Tower isn’t the only thing that’s going on. Eva Levante returns, bringing new armor for Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks to earn. As you upgrade your sets, you’ll once again be able to earn some magnificent white glows to adorn your armor with. If you have a taste for the elements, Eververse will also offer Universal Ornament Bundles for purchase which will shine brightly with glows that reflect your equipped subclass.



For a full rundown of Solstice and everything coming, make sure to check out our Seasonal Event page on Bungie.net. I'm personally getting excited for a fun new shotgun that will be available during the event...



Next week has quite a bit going on: a larger than usual mid-season sandbox update, Vault of Glass Master difficulty, and more! Let’s dig in. Hit the jump to head to Bungie.net for the full TWAB!

This week at Bungie, it’s getting dark.

The Endless Night really ramped up this week as the Tower is now in full dark mode. Strange things are afoot as Guardians continue to search for answers by diving even deeper into the Vex Network. Hopefully the source is found soon, as it’s looking pretty problematic right now.

The bravest and most powerful among you have started to take on the Grandmaster Nightfalls that went live this week with The Glassway. For anyone not aware, Grandmaster Nightfalls are some of the most difficult content to aspire to. If you’ve reached the proper Power but haven’t given it a go yet, Plug One.1 is up for grabs this week, so get in there. Be brave.

This week at Bungie, we prepare for the return of Grandmaster Nightfalls.

An Endless Night persists and Guardians continue to infiltrate the Vex network via Overrides and Expunges. Even with each Vex Mind defeated, we’re left with a puzzle that is still missing pieces. This week, many of you have already made a chilling discovery about who is orchestrating this cyber war, planting more seeds to undermine the future of the Last City. If you haven’t played yet this week, we’ll leave the story bits for you to uncover. Some of the most powerful moments in Destiny are that of discovery, so we won’t spoil the fun!

Outside of your Splicer initiatives, Vault of Glass challenges have begun. Each week, one encounter in the raid will feature a challenge for your fireteam to overcome. If you succeed, you’ll get additional loot as you continue to climb in Pinnacle Power. Some of you may be wondering what you need so much Power for. Well, we have two activities coming online this Season. Grandmaster Nightfalls return next week, followed by Master difficulty for Vault of Glass on July 6. So, let’s talk about Grandmasters, shall we...?

This week at Bungie, we’re walking the runway.

It’s fashion week, and the community is strutting their stuff on social right now. All the best Guardian looks are on display. Swagger, drip, whatever you want to call it – there are some frabjous armor sets out there.

Late to the party? No worries, you can still submit your look, just make a post on Twitter or Instagram with #SplicerFashionShow to enter. Submissions must be received by June 13 and we will pick our favorites. If we select you as a winner, we will reach out with details on getting you your special emblem. If you don’t win this time, don’t fret. Fashion is never finished, and we will do more of these in the future. Also don’t forget to check out the Expunge mission and to control the zones in Iron Banner while its active this week.

This week at Bungie, Mithrax told the legend of The Saint.

Over the last few weeks, the Tower has been bathed in darkness due to the Endless Night. Guardians have been exploring the Vex Network in search of solutions to this chilling predicament. With each Override, we’re one step closer to our goals. Expunge. Mithrax has been with us from the start but took a moment this week to share what it’s like as a member of the House of Light.

If you haven’t seen the cutscene yet, finish your weekly quest to get a good dose of lore.

Let’s get on with the TWAB, shall we? We have Iron Banner coming back around next week, and the announce of a fresh fashion show.
