We’ve got a lot to show you about what’s next for Marathon, from Nightfall Refresh in October, to Symbiosis in December, and Marathon’s evolution in March.

My aching heart to everyone at Bungie. The people I met there are without exception among the very kindest & most astoundingly talented artists & engineers & creators and craftspersons & human beings I've ever, ever met, much less had the chance to work with. All my love. 💜

Proud of the work the team put in to get this one done, the final version is so cool. There are some passionate developers that made it happen.

It was a pleasure and an honor to help bring these characters to life in D2. The cinematic and narrative teams are some of the best, most talented people I've ever worked with. I will cherish these memories forever. Also, thank you to the amazing community who supported us
To the Destiny 2 community, Thank you. As artists, our goal has always been to create worlds filled with wonder, mystery, beauty, and adventure. But what brings those worlds to life is you. You take our designs, our napkin sketches, our "wouldn't it be cool if..." ideas and transform them into something real. Your creativity, your passion, and your love for the game give our work purpose. We've always believed Destiny could be a place where expression is celebrated, where players can see themselves and each other in the worlds we build, where every Guardian can forge their own legend—and you proved it. Watching your Guardians grow, embrace new allies, take down bigger and badder bosses, solve mind-bending puzzles, dodge death traps, avoid Taken boopers, and overcome every Raid challenge we throw at you—all while looking incredible—has been a constant reminder of why this universe matters. You shaped it. You made it matter. You are the light of Destiny. With Monument of Triumph, we set out to create a series of love letters to Guardians, new and old. We shared a preview last week of armor inspired by early designs from the original Destiny but have also sprinkled some winks and nods throughout the rewards releasing tomorrow. We hope they feel like a small thank you for everything you’ve given us. From all of us on the Destiny 2 art team, thank you for supporting us, inspiring us, and continuing to bring this world to life in ways we could never have imagined. You give our art meaning. With gratitude, The Destiny 2 Art Team

Love this image, looking forward to the 9th 😊
Let's see if this works... Image has some awkward sizing. For those saying "Wait, where's Devrim?!" on our recently announced "Toast to the Monument" emblem, our blog preview was leveraging an earlier version of the art. There were a few other additions, too, like Sagira! More info: bungie.net/7/en/News/Article…
