Last year, Bungie released a limited-time event called Solstice of Heroes in Destiny 2. This event came with three-tier armor sets (Scorched, Rekindled and Resplendent) for each character (Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks). Just like last year, Bungie has announced that Solstice of Heroes will make a comeback this year as well with brand new solstice-style armor sets (Drained, Renewed and Majestic) for every character.
This year, Solstice of Heroes brings a brand-new mysterious floating island in EDZ. Take a look at the data-mined image below.
This Solstice of Heroes is a tradition in which Guardians reflect on past hardships and celebrate the resilience of humanity’s foremost defenders.
OVER THE NEXT WEEKS, GUARDIANS WILL:
Pursue limited-time Solstice-themed armor sets
Challenge themselves in combat meditations on a mysterious floating island in the European Dead Zone
Complete Moments of Triumph for glory and lootVisit Eva Levante in the Tower to kick off the celebration
Just like The Revelry and The Dawning, Solstice of Heroes quest-line will kick off through Eva Levante (the granny of Destiny universe).
When does Solstice of Heroes Start
According to the gameplay calendar released by Bungie, Solstice of Heroes will kick off on July 30, 2019, and will stay for a whole month. The event will conclude on August 30, 2019.
