Here Are All the Ways Bungie Is Getting Down With Destiny 2 on Bungie Day

A day for the fans.

Destiny 2

For anyone that may have missed the memo today is Bungie Day and the developer is celebrating its self-created holiday right now. Bungie Day was created in 2007 as a way to celebrate Bungie’s infatuation with the number seven, and they’ve opted to hold it every year now on 7/7.

A new blog post from the developer today detailed everything coming for the festivities with Bungie stating, “Today is a party in your honor. You are the main characters in our world – the heroes who breathe life and bravery into our creations. Were you to ask people who work at Bungie, they would likely tell you that we don’t make games. We build communities. The games are a fantastic means to the glorious end of people coming together to kill aliens and become friends.”

Without further ado, let’s take a look at how Bungie celebrated Destiny 2 on their special day.

Today Bungie announced the Bungie Day Film Festival, asking for memories related to the series from fans. This could be any number of things from fan art, to cosplay and gameplay montages. Bungie wants fans to upload everything they have to the community creation page, then at PAX West they’ll be unveiling a multimedia presentation featuring some of the best fan-made content.

Beta Access For Destiny 2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bungie featured a handful of Destiny 2 beta codes in the blog post today, which no doubt are all gone by this point. However, Destiny Community Manager Cozmo said to keep on eye on his Twitter for today and the next week for another chance to gain access to the beta. If you keep a watchful eye out, you may just get the chance to play Destiny 2 yourself.
