Bungie, the developer of the popular yet still controversial multiplayer shooter Destiny, confirms that it will present on July 7, its community celebration day, more details about how players who've enjoyed the game so far can achieve "legendary status" when the next big expansion, the Taken King, launches for the title.

Destiny was officially released last September across PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 platforms all around the world. While the game was eagerly awaited by millions of fans who fell in love with Bungie's previous projects, the actual final experience was quite repetitive and fell below their expectations.

Since then, Bungie has kept on improving the experience, while releasing not one but two premium expansions. The third one is set to arrive in September, in the form of the Taken King, and it's already caused a big controversy due to its steep price tag.
Bungie will reveal more rewards for veteran players on July 7

July 7, the so-called Bungie Day, will see the studio share more details about how veteran Destiny players can enjoy special rewards in the game once The Taken King arrives.

According to the latest Weekly Update, the community event will not only feature different activities for loyal fans but also details no how veterans will achieve "legendary status."

"We’ll have some celebrations of the awesome stuff you’ve done this past year, along with some invitations for how you can express yourselves. We’ll also tell you how any player who has braved the first year of Destiny can achieve permanent, exclusive legendary status. This is something we’ve been working on for a while, and your own triumphs are the crucial ingredient," the studio explains.

When The Taken King was announced, Bungie confirmed that existing players who already owned Destiny and its two expansions would receive an exclusive Sparrow vessel, an armor shader, and an emblem.

The community had a fierce backlash against these small rewards, as many didn't consider these sufficient rewards for investing time and money in Destiny.
