'Destiny' game events and latest news: gamers getting new weapons customization options, seasonal events

After the successful release of the latest downloadable content (DLC) expansion "Rise of Iron" for the highly popular online first-person shooter video game "Destiny," Bungie has now teased some brand new content that will be released for the game in the coming months.

The game's developer showed off some brand new weapon customization options and the return of two of the game's season events, namely the "Festival of the Lost" event and the "Sparrow Racing League."

In a recent post in Bungie's weekly update blog, the company  showed off several images of the brand new Exotic weapon ornaments. The weapons that will be getting the brand new ornaments will include the Red Death, Thorn, The Last Word, Black Spindle, and Bad Juju.

While the exotic ornaments for Bad Juju had already been leaked, Bungie mentioned that in the case of the ornaments for Red Death and Thorn, the upgrades are apparently still in development and they could undergo some changes before they are released to the public.

Bungie also mentioned that the ornaments for The Last Word and Black Spindle should be coming out before the end of the year.

As for the upcoming seasonal events, Bungie only mentioned that the "Festival of the Lost" event will be coming "very soon." There currently is still no fixed release date for when the event will be returning.

For the return of the "Sparrow Racing League," Bungie subtly teased in their post that the event may be coming back before the year ends.

"This year is racing to a close, but there are still some special occasions to celebrate and experience in the game," mentioned Bungie while hinting to fans about the return of the "Sparrow Racing League."

Bungie also teased that there may be significant changes that will be coming to the league, and that it may have something to do with players who are not really into the racing aspect of the league.
