Imagine: you’re invited to the Met Gala and the theme is ‘Haunted Moon’. You know Rihanna can be a surprising spectacle. You concede you can not beat Celine Dion’s glimmer or gags. You assume Marilyn Manson will do some gory ‘Le Voyage Dans La Lune’ lark with a mannequin rocket caught in his oozing eye. It’s a on condition that Kanye West will flout conference and put on denims. If you actually need to stand out with ‘haunted moon’ couture, mate, you couldn’t do significantly better than among the astonishing armour coming when Destiny 2 returns to our haunted moon within the Shadowkeep growth.
Shortly after last night’s announcement that Shadowkeep and the free-to-play New Light relaunch are delayed from September to October 1st, Bungie posted their customary This Week At Bungie blogblast to speak extra about… I’m not fairly positive, as a result of this image of some Shadowkeep armour was proper on the high and I couldn’t let myself scroll previous it.
To perceive the model, it’s essential to perceive what Bungie did to our alabaster pal. In Destiny it’s stuffed with the Hive, an alien species who reside in semi-symbiosis with parasitic worms (and truly are a reasonably neat non secular order of magical ritual logic) and who stabbed 1000’s of Earth’s mightiest heroes some time again. We beat the worst again however the Hive are nonetheless there, and now our previous Hive-hating pal Eris Morn appears to be caught in some shenanigans summoning phantasms of bosses we’ve bashed.
So you need your Shadowkeep vogue to convey: I’m on the moon; I’ve come to avoid wasting the moon; the moon is cursed by ritual magic; okay possibly typically I too dabble in iffy magic to get cool treasure; additionally now there are ghosts on the moon too, what the hell. These are these appears, combining parts of area fits and ritual garb. These are appears which shield towards each the vacuum of area and the approaching darkness.
You’re taking a look at (I believe) the identical set of armour in its three variations for Destiny’s three character courses. From left to proper, that’s the Titan (knight spacewizard), Hunter (rogue spacewizard), and Warlock (magician spacewizard).
Coarse white material is basic area go well with materials however right here additionally brings to thoughts ritual robes and wraps. The elements gathered in ribbing echo some area go well with designs too, solely right here the ribbing is in ornamental patterns. An underlayer of shiny quilted insulation. The torn and reclaimed material, deep blue maybe with a celestial or runic motif, worn in every class’s model. Insulation tape tied in cautious bows and wrapped crudely round gun barrels. Bungee cords attempting to carry elements collectively. The charms and rings in ornate knotted twine, ritual fetishism bordering on sexual.
The Titan’s spacedome with cocked defend resembles a knight’s helm with a visor. The Warlock’s masks echoes the three Hive eyes Eris Morn took to exchange her ruined personal. The Hunter’s respirator has VAST AWFUL EMPTY HOLES. Love these eyevoids. Such an excellent masks.
Shadowkeep and New Light will deliver a brand new armour system to Destiny, one which appears prefer it’ll allow us to swap out perks and upgrades on armour (Bungie are nonetheless a bit imprecise). If this implies I can customise my spacehorror go well with the way in which I need it, I’ll by no means take it off.
These are the appears to kick in ghosts and steal their treasure.
