Summary
A creative artist has excited theDestiny 2community by sharing some custom concept art visualizing someTitanfall-themed gear for Guardians.Destiny 2supports extensive armor customization options and regularly runs crossovers and new updates that add new cosmetics to players' wardrobes.
Destiny 2is well-established at this point as an institution of the live service shooter scene, and over the years it’s become something of a gathering place for fans of other shooters. It helps that theDestiny 2armor customization system enables all manner of cosplay efforts, with players using the game’s vast selection of armor parts to make costumes based on favorite games, bringing characters likeHelldivers 2Super Earth soldiersand even Bungie’s own Master Chief into the ranks.
One fan, an artist going by Special-Recipe-9392, displayed their love of thedelisted EA Games shooterTitanfallwith a new batch of concept art shared with the DestinyFashion Reddit community. Taking aesthetic cues from the world and technology ofTitanfallandTitanfall 2, their art conceptualized “Titanfall-inspired” Titans, applying the unique armor and gear style to the Titan Guardian, the most heavily geared-out ofDestiny’s three player classes.
Destiny 2 Titanfall-inspired Concept Art Turns Titans Into Pilots
Special-Recipe-9392’s art consists of a series of five bespoke sets blending the armored style of aDestiny 2Titan with the highly mobile tactical gear worn by the combatants in theTitanfallgames. While manyDestiny 2Titan costumes evoke characters like theDark SoulsOnion Knightthat wear full suits of plate and armor, theTitanfall-themed Titans wear sci-fi embellished tactical gear and ballistic plating. Straps, belts, webbing and gear harnesses cover most exposed surfaces, with matte plating covering critical parts of the wearer’s body. Even the more heavily armored-looking suits minimize bulk, asTitanfallcharacters also need high mobility to fulfill their role as the double-jumping Pilots of the Titan mech suits.
FellowDestiny 2fans praised Special-Recipe-9392 for the concept, calling on Bungie to get to work with EA on putting together aTitanfallcrossover. Barring that, some players declared that they’d attempt to recreate looks similar to the art using existingDestiny 2armor. A few commenters lamented the current state of theTitanfallfranchise, which currently only exists asthe backdrop of theApex Legendssetting.
The positive reaction to theTitanfall-themed fan art underscores the wide appeal and fan enthusiasm forTitanfall, despite the fact that the series is for all intents and purposes dormant. Perhaps with time or a cooling in support forApex Legends, developer Respawn Entertainment could explore reviving the series for a new generation of hardware and players.
