NetEase just revealed real-world rewards for Destiny Rising’s first raid race. Winners of the Eclipse Raid will take home championship rings worth $500 each, and the Top 5 teams will earn collectible pins.
It’s been nearly three weeks since the launch of Destiny: Rising, the first mobile game in the Destiny franchise. Last week, NetEase revealed the Eclipse World First Raid Race, which goes live on September 19. During the race, teams will need to complete all three Gauntlet stages back-to-back. But now, it looks like the game is taking a page straight out of Destiny 2’s playbook: the winners won’t just get bragging rights, they’ll walk away with real-world loot.
This week, NetEase shared full details on what’s up for grabs, and it’s no small thing. The winning fireteam, the first to clear all stages of Eclipse under the race conditions, will receive custom Championship Rings, one for each player.
And that’s not all. The top five teams overall will also earn commemorative Eclipse pins.
NetEase Confirms Real-Life Prizes for Destiny Rising’s First Raid Race
The full price breakdown comes from a new article by NetEase, released earlier today. According to the details, each ring is worth around $500 (totalling $3,000 USD), and each collectible pin is valued at $25 (with a total of $725 USD), bringing the total prize pool for physical rewards to $3,750.
You can check out the previews of the raid rings and pins below.
Keep in mind that the images above are mock-ups and the final product might change slightly. “The images shown are design drafts, and the final items may differ. The ring is a custom item and may take up to 6 months to be delivered,” the developer said.
As for the World First raid race rules, here’s how it works:
- The first team to finish the raid under all race conditions and rules gets the rings. (1 per player)
- The Top 5 teams will get the pins. (1 per player, for 30 total)
There are also strict rules for the race. The same six players must stay together from start to finish across all three stages of Eclipse. If someone drops or swaps mid-run, the team has to restart from Stage 1 with the new player to qualify. The race begins September 19 at 9:00 AM PT, and it ends when first five teams clear Eclipse.
“To be considered a valid completion in the race, the original team member must finish all three stages from start to finish in one run,” NetEase said. “This means that the same six players must participate together for all three stages of the Gauntlet Race.
“If, for any unforeseen reason, a team member is unable to continue after clearing Stage 1, the team must restart Stage 1 with a new replacement member and complete all three stages to achieve a valid score.”
| Stages | Valid Score | Invalid Score |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 Clear | Player 1,2,3,4,5,6 | Player 1,2,3,4,5,6 |
| Stage 2 Clear | Player 1,2,3,4,5,6 | Player 1,2,3,5,6,7 |
| Stage 3 Clear | Player 1,2,3,4,5,6 | Player 1,2,3,5,6,9 |
