After a month's absence, Bungie's weekly update returned with a bang today, as the developer announced Destiny's first ever Valentine's Day event. Dubbed "Crimson Days," the special event is described as being "on a scale close to Festival of the Lost," Destiny's Halloween event.
Crimson Days will begin on February 9 and last for one week. With it comes a February Update, delivering a brand new 2v2 Crucible mode called "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," Bungie said teasing the chance to earn some "sweet" loot. "To receive your gifts, you’ll have to put your differences aside and fight well as a couple."
Details about the new game type will be revealed in Bungie's next weekly update. Following a disappointing lack of holiday festivities, Crimson Days should come as a pleasant surprise for Guardians thirsty for new content.
