A Destiny 2 Live Event Comes Today – Here’s When To Expect It

Destiny 2 is set to enter its next big chapter with the release of the Beyond Light expansion on Tuesday, November 10, and it has made some big changes over the past season. One more thing is happening before the servers go offline on November 9 to make way for the expansion: another live in-game event.

Bungie has been suspicious of the event, but suggested it would be on a rather small scale. A small update is now available in the game, which you will need to download before the event begins. Bungie says you should be in-game by 6:50 p.m. PT / 9:50 p.m. ET to participate in the live event.

If you’re struggling to get into Destiny right now, you’re not alone. With so many players trying to log in to see the event live, Destiny 2 servers seem to be struggling and producing lots of login errors.

After downloading the update it isn’t immediately obvious what we might see for the live event – but it looks like things have changed with the Traveler. Seems like sections of the giant robot god are glowing; some players have speculated that we will see the Traveler heal himself during the event, and maybe that’s what’s happening here.

The story of the Arrivals Season has seen the game’s readiness to multiple Destiny 2 locations “vaulted” or indefinitely withdrawn from the game. Titan, Io, Mercury, Mars, and the Leviathan are all removed in Beyond the Light, and these destinations have seen stories throughout the season to explain what’s going on, in which you’ve tried to help prepare to evacuate these planets. It looks like the live event could be a plug on this story ahead of Beyond Light’s launch and its big changes in Destiny 2.

It should also be noted that Destiny 2 servers go offline at 7:00 p.m. PT / 10:00 p.m. ET Monday night for maintenance before Beyond Light. They should be put into service with the new extension to Noon PT / 3 p.m. ET Tuesday.
