This week, Bungie are on the edge of their seats.

With less than a week to go until the official Destiny 2 gameplay reveal, everyone in the Bungie/Destiny community is getting more and more excited. This is the last This Week at Bungie news article before the reveal so not much is being said but let's see what DeeJ and the rest of the Bungie team has to say this week.

Seven days from now, there will be no new information to read on this blog. The details you’ve been seeking will be in your hands. You’ll be passing them back and forth, talking about what it all means to you. Guardians attending the event – some of whom you probably follow – will be going on record with impressions from a first-person, hands-on perspective.

This has every single person on the Bungie team excited (except for that one person who’s always cranky). Years ago, when we first started talking about what we wanted our brave new world to be, it was Jason Jones, the original Game Director for Destiny, who said it best:

“The fantasy you have when you’re creating an experience is that someone else is going to enjoy it…”

That’s what brings us into work every day, and though it’s not easy, there are few of us who think of it as work. We get to build worlds where fascinating people like you can come together. For some time now, while you’ve been exploring the world of Destiny, we’ve been building new worlds and packing them full of action and mystery.

Next week, we’re opening a door to our next adventure. Jones is still around, but the torch has been passed to a new Game Director, backed up by a team who has watched every step the Guardians have taken together into the unknown. We’ve tackled the immense responsibility of earning the right to put a number on the box. In a matter of days, we’re going to Los Angeles to tell you how we’ve risen to that challenge.

A lot has been said about who gets to attend this event. The correct answer is “Everyone!” The revelation will be televised -- or “streamed” to be accurate, but that gets in the way of a catchy old phrase. If you’re used to watching our streams, report to the usual outpost.

Bungie.net Stat Issues We have identified an issue blocking all Iron Banner Mayhem Clash statistics from appearing on Bungie.net. A deployment to address this issue on Bungie.net is being scheduled and is expected to arrive next week.

Please note the following:

  • Post Game Carnage Reports from completed Iron Banner activities are expected to become available once this issue has been addressed.
  • Please allow 24-48 hours after resolution for statistics to process and appear on Bungie.net

  • Bungie Bounty: Arekkz

The Sign of Opposing Will is at stake during this event. To seize it, match with Arekkz and emerge victorious. Do that and your Emblem should arrive in your Collection within one week.

That's all the Bungie news this week. I'll see you all next in the Bungie Twitch chat for the Destiny 2 gameplay reveal. Make sure not this miss it!

Have a great weekend everyone.
