To put it delicately, Bungie's one-year anniversary celebration for Destiny hasn't exactly gone smoothly. At first, it looked like everything would be fine: Bungie would be releasing a Collector's Edition of the game, complete with all of the game's DLC — including the upcoming expansion, The Taken King.
That's when things started falling apart. At first, it seemed as if Bungie would force players to re-buy the game for $40 just to get the new DLC. Then the studio started backtracking, which was followed by fans complaining that their loyalty wasn't being rewarded. As expected, Bungie fired back with a few quick rewards, following up with a promise that more was on the way. Despite this, many hardcore Destiny fans were still unconvinced that Bungie would actually reward players who had stuck with the game for an entire year.
Now, in honor of its annual Bungie Day celebration, the Destiny team is finally ready to show loyal players what to expect for the Year-One celebration... though it's probably not what most players were anticipating. It's not a ship, it's not a gun — it isn't anything really tangible.
Sure, the emblem's not quite as practical as something like a modified gun or a new Sparrow, but it's a nice token of honor for those who have stuck with Destiny and conquered its toughest foes.
Again, players have from now until September 9 to complete the ten Moments of Triumph — otherwise, say goodbye to the specialized emblem. For more information on Bungie's Year-One celebration, head on over to the team's official site.
Destiny's next expansion, The Taken King, is set for release one week later on September 15.
