Bungie Destiny 2: Lightfall Art Blast

What began as early conversations about lifting the heroic narrative of Lightfall, transitioned into an explosive and vibrant release. Building each of these releases has always been an exciting time as we move the visual narrative. We couldn’t be prouder of the craft and dedication from the team and we hope you are inspired by this next installment in the Destiny series. This was a fun one to work on and it’s always exciting to share with all of you.

Jason Sussman
Art Director, Destiny 2 Lightfall

Neomuna and Lightfall presented us a fun opportunity to flex our art team in a way we have not done before. “How do you create a vibrant city in a distant planet that harkens back to some of the most visually inspiring motifs of urban science fiction, but do it in the note of Destiny?”

As always our art team answered that call head on and delivered one of the most breathtaking release we’ve seen yet in Destiny 2. The passion never stops in this group of talented artists that constantly push each other to raise the visual bar. From neon cityscapes to a new interdimensional damage type, our art team has created a visual delight that we all hope you can enjoy. Thank you for coming along for the ride, see you star side.
