Bungie has revealed that a long-awaited feature is coming to Destiny 2: the ability to change your character's appearance. This update, free of charge, will be released ahead of The Final Shape expansion, which is set to launch on June 4, 2024. Players will be able to tailor their Guardian's body type, face, hair/head, and markings, but changes between origins such as Human to Awoken will not be possible. Additionally, in anticipation of this customization feature, Bungie will reset the Synthweave bounty cap in March. Furthermore, the game's Glimmer cap is being doubled, allowing players to carry up to 500,000 Glimmer. Despite these updates, there are also reports of unrest and a "soul-crushing" atmosphere at Bungie, following layoffs and fears of a Sony acquisition.

How will the new character customization affect my existing Guardian in Destiny 2?

The character customization feature will allow you to modify your existing Guardian's appearance in various ways without any cost. You can change aspects such as body type, face, hair/head, and markings anytime you wish. However, you cannot change the fundamental origin of your character (e.g., from Human to Exo or Awoken).

Destiny 2, developed by Bungie, is a free-to-play online multiplayer first-person shooter that continues the epic saga begun in the original Destiny. Since its release on September 6, 2017, Destiny 2 has seen several expansions and content updates, aimed at enriching the player's experience and expanding the universe's lore. The game emphasizes cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes and provides players with a dynamic, evolving universe to explore. Additionally, the developers have been known to listen to community feedback, as demonstrated by the implementation of character customization options and other quality-of-life improvements.
