This week at Bungie we’re resuming our side of the conversation about Destiny.

When last we spoke, the previous calendar year was drawing to a close with all the momentum of a boosting Sparrow. As the last race went into the record books, we put this weekly act of sharing to bed for a short winter’s nap. Since then, you’ve been talking a lot, and we’ve been silently listening while we work behind the scenes.
Today, we’re excited to announce our first ever Valentine’s Day event in Destiny. It’s on a scale close to Festival of the Lost, and it’s right around the corner. Before it begins, there are some dates for you to save (and to make). Open your calendars and get ready to scribble. In blood.
The Couple That Plays Together
This February, in the world of the real, loving couples will descend upon crowded restaurants to exchange gifts and glance deeply into each other’s fluttering eyes. In the world of Destiny, the Guardians will be celebrating the rare variety of companionship that can only be found in the heat of battle. You’re invited to the Tower to partake in the real party, a ritual known by the brave as Crimson Days.
Love will be in the air, and it will last for one week, starting on February 9th.
Along with the other improvements and fixes you’ll receive in the upcoming February Update, we’re delivering a brand new 2v2 Crucible mode we’re calling Crimson Doubles. It features a special twist, born of new gameplay and mechanics that only battle-tested star-crossed lovers will appreciate. You’ll need a dancing partner – preferably one that compliments your fighting style. The two of you will have a chance to earn some “sweet” loot together in the Crucible. To receive your gifts, you’ll have to put your differences aside and fight well as a couple.
I’ve already chosen my partner. To ensure my own personal domination, I’ll be pairing with Senior Designer Leif Johansen. Maybe he’ll even let me put a Bungie Bounty on his head. He should have some solid ideas for how to win, since he drove the creative process that led to the new combat mode. To give you and yours a fighting chance, we’ll team up in the next Weekly Update to share the details about the new game type, along with some pro-tips you can share with your own teammates.
Outside of that, it’s hands off. He’s mine. You’ll need your own date for Crimson Days - and, yes, you can choose more than one partner if that’s what your heart wants. Fan out and find some love. You’ll need it to survive.
“You Have the Spark!”
