Edit: [u][b][url=https://twitter.com/deej_bng/status/846459303489765376]Looks like is was just a mistake in the promotional art![/url][/b][/u]
The corrected art is now displayed here.

Mistakes like this happen. No big deal!
My personal take on this: As far as I can tell, this was just a small slip up. The base image seems to be the current Destiny's City skyline as viewed from the Tower. I'm guessing they used a high quality image of that and then edited over top of it so that the City in the promotional image was resemblant of what we're all familiar with, down to the street layout. Because of this, the Traveler's position would be what we're familiar with as well, so it was mistakenly not edited out.
Additionally, I don't believe Bungie made these promotional pictures, but I could be wrong. They look to be in the same styling as a secondary company that Bungie and ActiVision have partnered with for different cinematics and such. (I'm leaving them unnamed on purpose because angry gamers tend to become an angry mob all too quickly.)
Still, I think we can all agree that the images are gorgeous. [url=http://imgur.com/a/htgd1]Click here for an album I made of all three new images at their highest known resolutions[/url]. Let's just be happy that we're getting at taste of what's to come! Let's wait for Bungie to make an official word on this, but otherwise, as DeeJ said in the linked Tweet, keep speculating and have fun with this! I know a lot of you weren't here for all the speculation on D1 before it came out. Those were some of my fondest memories of this community. Let's keep things civil, though.

Edited by CrudeDude: 3/28/2017 6:06:50 PMD2 is this, we failed to protect the city everything gets burned and destroyed , and now the unplayable cities we look down on from the tower, will now be playable. These are facts. I happen to know this family that works for bungo
-
Bloody hell, they've already nerfed the original poster.
-
Did they just nerf their promo pic?
-
In my opinion the traveler in the destiny two reveal tease looks new as in no damage like the one thats in destiny 1.
-
Inb4 conspiracy theories with 6 edits.
-
A miscue with Bungies work product...Destiny 2 is already falling in line with Destiny 1
-
I know Bungie tends to stumble during development of their games, but a POSTER mistake? Bungie needs to mind their feet.

Edited by Der_Peevmeister: 3/28/2017 4:07:25 AMThe 'announcement art' was -blam!-ed up? Things aren't starting well.... =\
-
The game hasn't come out yet, and they released a hotfix already.
-
I thought that the traveller had been cut open by us and we were told lies about it gifting us light also the cabal seem to be the new thing so they could have sealed up the traveller so we cant reach the light that protects us never mind about that theory then...
-
Traveller looks ... newer... on this pricture!
-
The only error here is that they uploaded the wrong image. They just didn't want us to know there are two Travelers this early on.
-
Could this explain how we lose our gear in D2? Every social space destroyed so we can no longer have access to what was in the vaults and maybe we had to give our weapons to the few survivors and get out?
-
Inb4 hiding the fact theres multiple travelers like multiple halos.
-
Destiny 2: The quest for more money...
-
Most promotional material is outsourced so it's understandable that mistakes can be made when the company making it really has little to no idea about the subject material beyond the instructions they are given.

Edited by LelKevin: 3/28/2017 4:18:49 PMAm I blind cuz I don't see a second didact [spoiler]*traveler[/spoiler]
-
So from the pictures, the traveler looks to be closer to the city than ever before.. Think we will board/enter the traveler????
-
Why is the last city on fire? Did all the guardians roit because they lust their gear or something
-

Clean up job going on in here.

There is no second traveler in the first picture, it's the mapping graphics (the ones they got from the Time Bandits map) overlayed on the scene.
