Destiny 2 will finally let Guardians change appearance after 10 years

Destiny 2 has finally revealed a new way for Guardians to customize their character after 10 years of not being able to.

There’s no other game quite like Bungie’s Destiny 2. The sci-fi looter shooter has managed to create an atmosphere and community like no other, which has been going strong for the past 10 years. Players absolutely adore their Guardian, fending off the Darkness and saving the universe with the power of light.

Despite somewhat being an MMO, there’s not a bunch of customization in Destiny 2. The game does have a fairly robust transmog system, which lets players pick and choose their fashion and outfits at whim, provided they have the right materials.

The same doesn’t apply for their Guardian, however, which many players have grown attached to over the years. Bungie previously didn’t allow players to customize their character after creation, meaning whatever you made at the start you were stuck with it. That all changes with a new update that will arrive before The Final Shape.

Destiny 2 introduces new character customization coming before The Final Shape

As announced in the TWID on January 18, Bungie has plans to implement a proper character customization system. This new feature can be used at any time, meaning players are able to hop in and out, swapping appearances at a whim.

What’s even better is that this system will be completely free as well, meaning no Bright Dust or Silver is needed if you want to change up your style. This is fantastic news as much of Destiny 2’s customization can be locked behind the real-life money Eververse store.

Unfortunately, players won’t be able to swap from their original Origin, meaning Exos will remain Exos, Awoken will remain Awoken and Humans will stay Human.

This update will go live sometime just before the release of The Final Shape, meaning sometime in May or early June, giving players just enough time to look pretty before the end.
