beginning.
Before the journey became a legend.
Rebuilding a playable sandbox from the earliest days of Destiny.

Destinations planned for the sandbox.
The Cosmodrome. The planned proving ground for combat, patrol, XP, and engram drops.
Small beginnings.
A world worth rebuilding.
The goal is a playable D1 beta sandbox: familiar weapons, working movement, meaningful progression, and a Tower to come home to.
Discover the projectBuild the foundations.
Back beyond the wall.
A return to the atmosphere of the D1 beta, beginning with the systems that make its world feel alive.
A sandbox to explore
The first planned experience connects orbit and patrol, with correctly identified weapons, working sprint, and combat.
A reason to keep playing
XP, leveling, engram drops, and saved inventory form the planned progression loop.
A place to come home to
The Tower and its vendors are part of the sandbox vision. Campaign mission work comes after the foundations.
A world, one system at a time.
The intended development order, starting with the playable sandbox. The roadmap reflects our development priorities. Completion is confirmed through in-game testing.
Make the fundamentals feel right.
Start with the core problems: weapon classification and sprinting. Validate behavior in the game before expanding the scope.

- Working sprint and movementFirst priority
- Combat and inventory validationPlanned
Your next journey starts here.
Getting the sandbox right comes first. When testing opens, this page will guide you through supported builds, setup, and connecting to the project.
Check compatibility
Supported hardware or emulator, exact client build, and setup requirements will be listed after testing.
Follow the connection guide
When ready, the guide will explain how a compatible client reaches the hosted project server.
Enter the sandbox
Join testing once remote connections, character saving, and the gameplay loop have been validated.
A few things to know.
Can I play right now?
Public testing has not opened. The project is focused on the core sandbox before inviting players.
Which platforms and builds will be supported?
Compatibility requirements are still being validated. Exact hardware or emulator requirements and the required client build will be published here after testing.
Will campaign missions be included?
Campaign mission scripting is deferred. Weapons, movement, patrol, progression, and the Tower are the current sandbox priorities.
Is First Light an official Bungie service?
No. First Light is an independent fan project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Bungie. Destiny and related marks belong to their respective owners.
Where can I find downloads or connection details?
They will be added to this page once a tested release is available. There are no public connection details or game downloads at this stage.
The foundations come first.
First Light is in development. Public player access has not been announced.

Not open for public testing
Core sandbox
Weapon classification and sprint are the first priorities, followed by patrol travel, combat, and inventory behavior.
Progression and persistence
The planned loop includes XP, leveling, engram drops, and character saves that persist across sessions.
Remote player testing
Hosting and player connections will be validated before access instructions are published.
