Today at PSX, Bungie has released new information on their next plan to provide us content until the next dlc announcement. This entertainment isn't your typical shoot things in the face for rng loot. Instead, it's time to dust off your Sparrow skills and get ready for a death race in the Sparrow Racing League! The Live team wants to make Destiny a different place. They feel as though that if they make these community 'Lightning Rods', they want to create new events. This is the team that was responsible for the Festival of the Lost, and here they are again, boosting hype levels yet again whilst giving us something new in Destiny. So what is this Sparrow Racing League that you're babbling on about? - Well this is going to be a three week long event hosted by Amanda Holiday in the tower that starts this Tuesday (8th December - 29th December). It is a six man FFA on two maps. One on Mars, and another on Venus.
How can one take part in the Sparrow Racing League? - You will be able to access this three week long event if you own The Taken King.
How will the Sparrow Racing League play out? - Throughout the course, you will see these blue holographic gates. The more gates you pass through, the faster you will go, but the more gets you miss, the slower you will go. The two maps have set difficulties according to the Live Team. They have the beginner map on Mars, and a more challenging map on Venus. Campus Marstious is the name of the Mars map, and Infinite Descent is the map name for the Venus map. You will be racing fellow Guardians through enemy territory. With this new event, we will be getting new armour, class items and sparrows. The armour and class items can spawn at 320 light, so we now have another way to achieve the new level cap inside of Destiny.
