Dear Lightbearers:
To provide a better experience, we will perform update maintenance on 07/09/2026 at 03:00:00 (UTC-7), during which the Destiny: Rising servers will be down and Lightbearers will be unable to log in to the game. Please schedule your game time accordingly.
Maintenance Duration & Compensation:
Duration: Starts on 07/09/2026 at 03:00:00 (UTC-7) and is estimated to take 3 hours.
Compensation: 200 Lumia Leaves
Eligibility: Lightbearers who created an account before maintenance began and who have logged in within the past week.
The compensation will be issued to Lightbearers via mail, so be sure to check and claim it.
Post-Maintenance Updates:
I. Limited-Time Event [Hero Aura: Phase I] Launches
● Event Period:
Voting Phase: After maintenance on 07/09 – 07/18
Announcement Phase: After maintenance on 07/23 – 07/30
● Event Details:
Every hero who fights alongside you deserves to shine with their own brilliant light on the battlefield.
To provide all players with a deeper and warmer co-creation experience, we are officially launching the "Hero Aura" series co-creation plan. This is not just a limited-time vote; in our long-term roadmap, this plan will serve as the absolute cornerstone guiding us toward the eventual launch of the all-new "Codename: Hero Aura System."
In the "Hero Aura: Phase I" voting event starting this week, we are placing the power of choice directly into the hands of our players. Lightbearers across the NA, EMEA, and CN servers will vote together to decide which hero will receive skill mechanism optimizations, balance tuning, and a dedicated exclusive system in the next stage of development.
At the same time, to maintain long-term balance and protect the long-term health of our game ecosystem, ensuring that every "classic favorite character" who has stood the test of time receives highly meticulous polishing and ecosystem alignment, the development team will slow down the release frequency of brand-new heroes in the upcoming R&D schedule. We firmly believe that rather than simply and frequently introducing new characters, returning our ample energy to the source—allowing old friends who have accompanied you through countless days and nights and helped you overcome countless difficulties to shine once again—is equally important, and far more profound and valuable.
Choose the future, co-create the light. Let us work together to light up their "Hero Aura"!
Note: The voting event page only displays data for the current server. The final announced results will be calculated by combining the voting data from the NA, EMEA, and CN servers.
