Destiny Bug That Blocks Progress Discovered in Latest Weekly Nightfall [UPDATE]

[UPDATE] Bungie has fixed the problem, the developer wrote on Twitter.

The original story is below.

Destiny's new Nightfall Strike is running into some issues--and Bungie is on the case.

Reports on the Destiny sub-Reddit indicate that there is a bug in the latest Nightfall Strike--Sunless Cell--that prevents a certain door from opening. The door must open for players to advance to a final showdown against the Darkblade boss, meaning the Strike is effectively broken (via VG247).

According to one Redditor, enemies fail to spawn during first half of the Sunless Cell Nightfall. The bigger problem, however, is that the door to the boss battle won't open. "Tried a wipe, but still nothing," RumorsOFsurF wrote.

Thankfully for fans, Bungie is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.

We'll update this post as new details become available.

In other Destiny news, players think they've discovered evidence that suggests the shooter is headed to Mercury in the future. In addition, Bungie is now handing out free items to all players to start the new year.
