The title of the ViDoc has at least two potential meanings.

The first is a reference to Bungie's first 3D shooter title, Pathways Into Darkness, in which the protagonist descends into an ancient pyramid to attempt to neutralize a sleeping god with a nuclear weapon-- hence, a pathway into darkness.

Bungie's Technical Director, Chris Butcher, opens the first Destiny ViDoc.

"That moment, where we decided that the right thing for us was to do something big and commit the entire company to it... it's a big deal."
