Summary
Bungie has revealed a newDestiny 2community event inspired byThe Witcher. This new community event follows a crossover with CD Projekt Red’s hit franchise, which introduced several new cosmetics inspired by Geralt of Rivia that came with Season of the Wish. Crossovers are nothing new inDestiny 2, with Bungie introducing cosmetics based on other popular Sony titles likeGod of WarandHorizon Forbidden Westinto the game, but this is the first time that one has resulted in a community event.
Like crossovers, community events in the first-person shooter are a regular occurrence aimed at banding the player population to work towards a common goal to earn a reward. One of the most well-loved community events was theCorridors of Time puzzlethat came with the Season of Dawn, which not only introduced a significant plot point in the game, the player character’s death, but also the fan-favorite exotic fusion rifle Bastion.
Now, in what is one ofDestiny 2’s longest seasons, Bungie has introduced a new community event to the game. In the most recentThis Week in Destiny blog post, Bungie has challenged the community to slay 7,777,777 enemies with swords. The event, which started at 3 PM EST, does not seem to have an end date so far, with the developer only stating that it would start keeping a tally. As for the reward, Bungie has stated that it cannot pay players in coins, a reference to Jaskier’s catchy song from the first season of the NetflixWitcheradaptation, so instead, players will earn the brand-new Adventurous Spirit emblem.
The blog post also stated that Bungie will provide instructions on how players can redeem the emblem once the community has hit the goal. While contributing to this challenge, players who have not already earnedthe previousWitcheremblem inDestiny 2, Never Lost, Always Found, will have a chance to do so, as that cosmetic requires gamers to get 100 Sword kills in addition to 50 Solar Melee final blows.
While 7,777,777 may seem like a high goal,Destiny 2players have often risen to the occasion in the past, such as with Niobe Labs. With this event coming just weeks after the Season of the Wish storyline has been completed, it is the perfect way forDestiny 2players to keep themselves occupied untilMara Sov’s weekly missionsarrive in the game.
