Destiny 2fan Spartan-Jake received a sealed copy of2019’s Shadowkeep Collector’s Editionfrom their parents, invoking a strong sense of nostalgia from players who were around for the expansion’s launch. The Shadowkeep Collector’s Edition was supposed to be a Christmas gift from Spartan-Jake’s parents in 2019, but the player already purchased the DLC. As a result, the player’s mother set the Shadowkeep Collector’s Edition aside and planned to return the gift. Nearly four years later, Spartan-Jake received the Shadowkeep Collector’s Edition and seemingly plans to keep it sealed due to its increasing rarity.

ManyDestiny 2fans in the Reddit community are surprised that a sealed Shadowkeep Collector’s Edition still exists four years after its launch. A majority of users commenting in the Reddit post urge Spartan-Jake to keep it sealed with its exclusive emblem since the Collector’s Edition’s price is rising upwards of $600 on marketplace websites like eBay. Spartan-Jake is still tempted to open the Shadowkeep Collector’s Edition after having watched several unboxing videos from 2019, though.

A lot ofDestiny 2players seem to remember the launch of Shadowkeep fondly since the expansion marked the game’s debut on Steam and Bungie’s first release after becoming independent of Activision. Criticism toward Bungie is abundant inDestiny 2Year 6 due to a lack of communication, however. Fortunately, Bungie appears to be building good will with its players once more withpromising updates forDestiny 2’s PvP.
