Bringing history (and the future) to life
For the Bungie team, this was a unique opportunity to bring the historical world of Assassin's Creed into the sci-fi universe of Destiny. This was especially true when it came to bringing the three Assassin's Creed characters to life as guardians.
"We had to think about how the character we chose would fit into the different parts of Destiny Guardian," said Bangi's Ian McIntosh. "It was easy to imagine Altair as a witch because her long robes fit perfectly with the typical Destiny 2 witch look. We thought Ivor would be a great Titan because she's so strong and armored. And Cassandra as a huntress would be perfect for her. Similarities: fair skin, His clothes, and fine fighting style.
"The style of the characters in Assassin's Creed is very similar to what you'll see in Destiny 2, which I describe as fantasy inspired by the fashion of the historical period in which each story takes place," said McIntosh. “Both games take inspiration from the real world and then give it their own unique flavor. But Destiny 2 has always lacked sci-fi elements. For this armor ornament, we added more durable surface armor. A good example is the addition of protective helmets that replace the human face.
“Obviously we wanted to include some visual design elements in these armor sets to help define each part of the Doomguard. For example, we gave Cassandra's Hunter Shield a long cape and added a Warlock Link class element to Altair's set. Back. Yvern Titan Armor We've redesigned the existing shield design to look more like a traditional Destiny Titan shield to better fit Destiny's turret.
The Ubisoft team had their own agenda: instead of advancing the Assassins, they were bringing the Guardians back in time. Nowhere is this more evident than with the new Gjallarhorn sword found in the new Assassin's Creed Valhalla character set. The challenge was not only to create an attractive and functional weapon for Valhalla players, but also to transform Destiny's famous exotic rocket launcher into a completely new form: a two-handed sword useful on the battlefield. His colleague IX. During the 19th century attacks, when he dropped swarms of bees or evil spirits.
“We did a few design iterations and looked at how the rocket launcher would be brought into the world of Assassin's Creed. With different designs, many of which we think could be swords and rocket launchers, the color palette, barrels, and wolf crests should work. "We were making a fuskai sword-rifle, so we focused on where the projectiles could come out in a reasonable way and still have a good balance between the sword and the sword barrel," he said. JP Tan from Ubisoft.
According to the Ubisoft team, creating characters and weapons in Destiny was a matter of love. “If we're going to build this device, we want to make sure we're doing it right. Ren Gomos of Ubisoft Ren Gomos of Ubisoft This is a love letter to people who love the story and experience of these amazing games."
