Destiny 2’s Guardian Games 2026 are live, and they bring back the beloved annual competition between Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks. This year, Bungie has added a special twist: a Magic: The Gathering crossover, offering themed armor sets, accessories, and visual upgrades inspired by the iconic trading card game.
Guardian Games is designed to encourage players to compete for their class while completing daily activities. Players earn medallions by participating in tasks, which can be banked at the Tower to contribute points to their class. Players can also spend Destiny 2 Silver to unlock additional rewards during the event.
Key features include:
Medallion Collection: Collect medallions by completing activity objectives.
Banking Medallions: Deposit them to increase your class’s score.
Rushdown Challenges: Face rotating bosses each day for unique rewards.
Rare Vanguard Orders: Complete optional weekly quests for Bright Dust, used to unlock cosmetics.
Rushdown Mode Enhancements
Randomized Boss Order: Each day offers a new combination of bosses, keeping the gameplay fresh.
Daily Rotation: Boss rotations encourage players to log in every day for new challenges.
Team Coordination: Playing with a fireteam is the fastest and safest way to complete challenges.
Magic: The Gathering Crossover
The MTG collaboration adds Planeswalker-inspired armor sets for each class. These sets are purely cosmetic but offer a striking visual identity for participants.
| Class | Armor Set Name | MTG Inspiration |
| Titan | Flamecaller Set | Chandra Nalaar |
| Hunter | Mindsculptor Set | Jace Beleren |
| Warlock | Death’s Majesty Set | Liliana Vess |
In addition to armor, the event includes themed ships, sparrows, emotes, shaders, and Ghost shells, all inspired by MTG designs.
