Destiny 2 players who miss content removed from the game may have a reason to keep watching Project Sunrise. A developer working on the free-to-play mod has shown Tree of Probabilities running from start to finish, including enemy encounters and the Strike’s final boss mechanics. The project is still in an early stage, so players should treat this as a proof of concept rather than an immediate replacement for the live game.
What changed for vaulted Destiny 2 Strikes?
Project Sunrise developer soul shared footage of Tree of Probabilities being tested in full. The demonstration includes enemies spawning during the activity and the final boss progressing through its intended mechanics. That is significant because vaulted Strikes are not simply being displayed as static environments; the test suggests that their combat flow can be reconstructed as playable activities.
Tree of Probabilities is also a useful technical test because the original Strike had several known problems. Its Vex terrain could fail to appear, the end encounter could involve the wrong Minotaur being defeated, and the boss could become stuck between phases. Showing the activity functioning despite those potential issues gives Project Sunrise a meaningful preservation milestone, although it does not confirm that every bug has been permanently resolved.
Who should follow Project Sunrise?
The project is most relevant to longtime Destiny 2 players who lost access to locations and activities when content was removed from the live game. It may also interest anyone concerned about preserving a franchise that began in 2014, particularly after a substantial amount of material left the game with the launch of Beyond Light.
Project Sunrise already makes the Leviathan Raid explorable again, while also covering planets and locations that are no longer part of the current version of Destiny 2. However, the Leviathan content is described as exploration mode, and the restored Strike work is still being developed. Players should therefore follow the project for its preservation value rather than expect a complete, officially supported return of the old content.
What happens next?
The Tree of Probabilities footage is an early look at what Project Sunrise may eventually deliver. Its developers initially conceived the project as a standalone private exploration mod, but progress has expanded toward bringing more vaulted content back in usable form. The team has not established how much of the vault can ultimately be restored, so the project’s final scope remains uncertain.
This development arrives after Bungie announced that Destiny 2 would receive one final update on June 9 before the company stopped working on the game. That decision intensified calls for a continuation of the series, but no immediate official return has been indicated. In that environment, Project Sunrise offers an unofficial route toward keeping older Destiny 2 content accessible, provided development continues.
What players should know
- Tree of Probabilities has been shown running as a complete Strike test.
- The demonstration includes enemy spawns and final-boss mechanics.
- Project Sunrise is free to play, but the restored content is still in development.
- Leviathan is currently described as explorable rather than a fully restored Raid activity.
- The project’s eventual coverage of Destiny 2’s content vault is not confirmed.
Expert View
Project Sunrise is worth watching because it addresses a genuine preservation problem with a working technical demonstration, not just a promise. Still, the footage should be viewed cautiously: one functional Strike does not prove that the entire content vault can return, and the project has no indication of official Bungie support. For former players, it is a promising reason to follow development; for anyone seeking a finished way to replay vaulted content today, waiting is the sensible choice.
