After this week’s Season of the Splicer reveal trailer,Destiny 2developer Bungie has now announced that it is working on a Fallen baby plush toy that players will eventually be able to buy from the Bungie Store. The toy is now in development with the goal of being available this year and shipped before the end of 2021.
TheDestiny 2community was sent into a frenzy over a brief glimpse several baby Fallen in the trailer for the new season. Despite the extinction-level threat that the Vex pose to humanity, and the new alliance with Fallen Kell Mithrax thatSeason of the Spliceris introducing, theDestiny 2community seems far too preoccupied with the four-eyed bug babies to care.

During the Season of the Splicer trailer, a brief clip which appears to be taken from a cutscene shows several Fallen Dregs looking to Mithrax, the Kell of Light, with oneclutching three Fallen babieswrapped up in cloth. The plush toys, which are being designed in collaboration with video game merchandise store Numskull Designs, are based off the appearance in the trailer, complete with the cloth wrapping. The plushies may also feature glow-in-the-dark eyes and are expected to be 10 inches in size.
Plenty of artists within theDestiny 2community took to Twitter to share their fan art celebrating the Fallen babies. For Bungie’s weekly “This Week At Bungie” blog, an entire section was dedicated to artwork of the Fallen babies. Bungie also previewed some upcoming patch notes for Season of the Splicer in the blog post and revealed that theDestiny 1Hung Jury Scout Rifle would be returning.
Despite the Fallen being one of humanity’s greatest enemies, since theBeyond Lightexpansion, manyDestiny 2players have had a change of heart over how the Eliksni are treated. After a tenuous alliance with Variks saw players take downEramis and her House Salvation councillors, it is great that Bungie is finally pushing players to ally more closely with the Fallen in Season of the Splicer thanks to Mithrax. Hopefully the Fallen and Guardians can reach a lasting peace that will allow players to spend even more time fawning over the little Eliksni babies.
