"I thought I was done with Destiny 2. Years of resets, grinds, and confusing lore updates left me drifting. But today, Bungie revealed the first details and art for Renegades, and visually, it's unlike anything we've seen from the game. One glance at the new imagery and you can see it: Destiny is having its Star Wars moment. In fact, Bungie proudly says this is a " Star Wars™-inspired expansion", little TM included."
"Take the new hub, Tharsis Outpost. The reveal image doesn't just show another Tower reskin; it's a cantina. A smoky den of rogues where Guardians rub shoulders with the galaxy's scum and villainy, blasters at their hips, maybe, Syndicate banners hanging overhead. The giant, humming machine in the background isn't just set dressing; it frames the space like a set piece pulled straight from a Lucasfilm matte painting."
"What strikes me most is how Renegades tweaks Bungie's usual clean, epic sci-fi aesthetic for a new used universe. Armour here feels more scavenged than issued, patched cloaks, asymmetrical plating, helmets that look closer to Mandalorian visors than Vanguard issue. Even the new Blaster archetype is designed to look distinct: chunky, heat-vented weapons that echo classic sci-fi props but feel grounded in Destiny's visual language."
Renegades reimagines Destiny 2's visual identity by embracing a used, outlaw-focused sci-fi aesthetic reminiscent of Star Wars. Tharsis Outpost functions as a cantina-style hub where Guardians mingle with rogues beneath Syndicate banners and a looming, cinematic machine. Promotional art presents guardians crossing a twin-sunned desert, invoking gunslinger silhouettes and Ralph McQuarrie-inspired composition. Armor appears scavenged and asymmetrical, with patched cloaks and helmets echoing Mandalorian visors. A new Blaster archetype emphasizes chunky, heat-vented designs that nod to classic sci-fi props while fitting Destiny's visual language. The overall shift lightens dense lore in favor of atmospheric, playable outlaw fantasy.
