Guardians Compete for Medallions and Valor in Annual Guardian Games Event

Today, Destiny 2 kicks off the annual Guardian Games in-game event, running from March 24 through April 14, inviting players to compete for Guardian class supremacy. Also, a new crossover with Magic: The Gathering is available now, introducing themed armor ornaments and cosmetics inspired by the iconic franchise.

The limited-time Guardian Games event challenges Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks to collect medallions, complete activities, and compete for the top spot on the podium. This year’s event introduces a remixed Rushdown mode with randomized boss encounters, daily boss rotations for replayable competition, and a full event reward track including a new shader, ship, emblem, Ghost Shell, and holofoil weapons. Also, three Guardian Games-exclusive weapons are available to earn during the event:

  • Triple Laureate – Stasis Hand Cannon
  • The Beacon – Solar Fusion Rifle
  • Keraunios – Arc Trace Rifle

Guardian Games also introduces new event-focused Rare Vanguard Orders, allowing players to earn additional Bright Dust during the event, with repeatable bounties available throughout the competition. Rare Vanguard Orders will provide 50 Bright Dust per completion before the 1000 Bright Dust weekly threshold and 10 Bright Dust per completion thereafter. Bright Dust earned from Rare Vanguard Orders and other sources can be used to purchase Guardian Games-themed Legendary Armor Ornaments.

Launching alongside Guardian Games, Destiny 2 introduces a crossover collaboration with Magic: The Gathering, featuring armor ornaments and cosmetics inspired by legendary Planeswalkers and other elements from the Magic universe.
The new Eververse items available to purchase today include:

  • Armor Ornament Sets (one per class)
    • Titan — Flamecaller Set inspired by Chandra Nalaar
    • Hunter — Mindsculptor Set inspired by Jace Beleren
    • Warlock — Death’s Majesty Set inspired by Liliana Vess
  • Other Cosmetics and Accessories
    • Promised End Exotic Ghost Shell
    • Grand Praetor Exotic Ship
    • Voice of Hunter 7/6 Exotic Sparrow
    • Overrun Finisher
    • Ignite Your Spark Exotic Emote
    • Sol Ring Exotic Emote
    • Basic Lands Shader Pack

Last month, Bungie announced that the Destiny 2 Shadow and Order major update would be delayed as the team makes significant revisions and expands the scope of the release. The update is now scheduled to launch on June 9, 2026, with additional details on new features and changes to be shared closer to release. More information can be found in the This Week in Destiny blog post.
