This week at Bungie, we have been raiding nonstop! Did you participate in the World First Race? Have you finished with your clanmates already? How about those new raid armor sets? Were you lucky enough to already get your hands on the new raid Exotic? We hope the psychedelic panoramas created by the clash of Light and Dark were a pleasant surprise.
Happy TWABsday, Guardians! This week at Bungie we have World First race info to cover, a preview of Season of the Deep rewards, an update on Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris, and a few other highlights.
We’re only nine days into the Season and already seeing really wild builds, some of the funniest Strand clips, a whole bunch of Commendations being handed out, and Guardians ranking up. And keep sharing your screenshots and videos on socials! We’ll be looking for them.
In the aftermath of the attack on the Traveler, the Vanguard calls upon its closest allies. Guardians must master the righteous powers of the Awoken to stand against the encroaching Shadow Legion and prove themselves as Queensguard.
Defiant Battlegrounds
In this new three-player matchmade activity, bypass the Shadow Legion’s security by entering their outposts from the Ascendant Plane. Navigate the abyss and rescue your captive allies by completing rituals that open gateways to safety.

This week at Bungie, we’re sharing a lot of information with you all! Mostly because we’re as hyped as everyone else, but also because Lightfall is launching in less than five days. That leaves us with about—[checks clock, does the math, checks with Google because I’m bad with numbers]— less than 118 hours by the time this is live. It's enough time to tell you one or two more things, though. Or several.
This week at Bungie, we have a ViDoc, a cinematic, and some Lightfall news to cover.
Happy TWABsday, Guardians! Before we get into today's news, did you see the ViDoc?! Our End Begins! Weaving the Threads! Welcome to Neomuna! Okay, I'll stop shouting the titles in the ViDoc now. But on a less “yelly” note, seeing Rohan, Nimbus, the pouka pond, new Exotic armor and weapons, on top of working with Devrim, Petra—[deep breaths] yeah, let's roll it one more time.
TL;DR
And because this seems to be a Guardian favorite, we’ve got a TL;DR. Here’s one for last week’s TWAB.
The latest Strand news.
Update on performance issues tied to latency.
FotL results and Trials map voting.
Prime Gaming loot update.
VFX and Dresstiny going forward.
And more!
Oh, while we’re at it, here’s what's coming up in this week’s TWAB too:
This Week at Bungie, we showed some of the new gear that's coming with Lightfall. We also previewed some of the changes coming to the weapon sandbox and a few other tid-bits that we think you should know. For a full recap of this past week and a look ahead before Lightfall arrives, check out the full TWAB here.
This week at Bungie, we have some announcements, reminders, and things, oh my.
Happy TWABsday, Guardians! Today we are talking about creepy crawlies what’s wrapping up at the end of the Season, and a note on yesterday’s downtime. Read the rest of our blog here.
Happy New Year, Guardians, and welcome to the first TWAB of the year. We hope you all had a relaxing and peaceful holiday, and that the New Year treats you well.
Between Moments of Triumph, Iron Banner Fortress, Revision Zero, and [gestures wildly to the game in general] there was a lot going on, so we want to make sure you have all the deadlines you need before the Season wraps up in 47 days. Read the rest of the blog here.
This week at Bungie, we celebrate lots of stuff! The Dawning! New partnerships! A year that is about to end and a new one that’s about to begin! Also, activities that are coming very soon! And I'm going to celebrate that this is my first time writing a TWAB. ¡Hola, mundo! (Hello, World!). This is also the last TWAB until next year. That sounds like a long time, but worry not, we'll be back with tons of new topics to tackle starting on January 12. We will use this time off to rest, so we recommend you try and do that, too!
But for now, let's focus on the present. Here's a brief summary of what we're talking about today:
• Did you watch that amazing TGA trailer we dropped? • The Dawning is here! Eva Levante is back in the Tower with cookies and gifts. • Celebrate your Moments of Triumph. • Saladin and his Iron Banner are coming back in early January with new rewards. • We will talk a bit about secrets. • We have the winners of our Ubisoft partnership community contest! • You chose your favorite Arbalest ornament. • We look back to a few highlights of 2022. • And last, we say goodbye to a member of the team.
Let's get on with it by checking out the full TWAB here.
Remember to find some time between heists to relax with friends and share a cookie... or three. Head to the Tower and bid a season’s greeting to Eva Levante. She’s waiting near her Holiday Oven with warm wishes and the perfect recipe for Dawning Spirit: delicious cookies, and twinkling rewards.
Stay Frosty
The time has finally come to reveal what was in that Pulse Rifle shaped box. Perfect for Guardians who love gifts that keep on giving.
Ornament Party
Can't find that incredible Pruina Luster ornament set in any of the stores? We have it on good authority that Tess still has a few in stock.
Have a Ball
It sure would be a shame if this Stasis infused snowball ended up on a calamitous collision course with that cookie you're about to consume.
Event Card
Event Challenges, a new Seal, and a bunch of earnable Dawning rewards! Play for free or upgrade your card to start hitting the slopes and riding through the snow on the coolest (literally) Sparrow of the Season. Unwrap your Event Card in the Quests tab in game.
Showstopping Seal
Know any sci-fi fans who are handy with an oven? Does that sound like you? Complete the Star Baker Seal and not only will you unlock the Star Baker title; you’ll also earn a new collectible medallion pin through Bungie Rewards. There are no rules against buying gifts for yourself.
