Bungie’s Ian McIntosh said: “His long robes fit perfectly with the typical Warlock look of Destiny 2, so it was very easy to imagine Altaïr as a Warlock. , thought she would make a great Titan, and Cassandra works well as a hunter due to her many similarities to that class.Lightweight leather and cloth clothing and her stealthy fighting style there is.
“Assassin’s Creed’s character style can be described as a fantasy inspired by the fashion of the historical period in which each story takes place, but there are many similarities to what we see in Destiny 2,” continues McIntosh. “Both games take inspiration from the real world and add their own unique twists. added several hard surface armor components with a classic Destiny look, the best example being the addition of a Guardian helmet that replaces a human face.

We asked ourselves how much of a sword and rocket launcher we could be while maintaining the crest, barrel, and color palette of the . We were careful to make sure it popped out and that there was a good balance between the blade and the barrel of the sword,” says Ubisoft’s JP Tan.
As the Ubisoft team says, working on Destiny’s character and weapon packs has been a labor of love. “If you wanted to make this weapon, we wanted to make sure you did it right. This is a love letter from us to people enjoying the stories and experiences of these great games,” he said. says Ubisoft’s Ren Gomos.
