Bungie seems committed to smaller, timed events that are designed to keep players coming back to Destiny, but we're still not convinced that the structure is as satisfying as it arguably needs to be. The shooter's next event will coincide with Valentine's Day, so let's hope that you're not, you know, actually socialising with your significant other.

To be fair, the Crimson Days event will last one week, beginning on the 9th February. It'll introduce a new player-versus-player mode called Crimson Doubles, which seems pretty straightforward: you and a partner will fight other couples for glory, and, according to the official blog post, you'll be able to nab some good loot.

How romantic

It's a nice little idea, but again, we're just not sure if it's enough to keep players interested. To some extent, it seems as though many Guardians have once again hit a brick wall when it comes to character progression, with only the King's Fall Raid really having any point to it once you hit a certain light level - and we all know how difficult it can be to round up five of your friends for several hours at a time.

But hey, we'll give Bungie the benefit of the doubt. Alongside the Crimson Days event, the developer promises a February update, which will hopefully tweak some aspects of the game for the better.

Do events like this bring you back to Destiny, or do you need something more substantial to sink your teeth into? Find a partner in the comments section below.
