Destiny 2 Fans React to the Teen Titans-Themed Makeover of Guardians
After the image of the Teen Titans-themed Guardians was posted on Reddit, it drew a lot of attention from other Destiny 2 players, with many of them praising the effort. The Guardian with Starfire’s likeness was rated highly in particular, with a user noting how it was “done so well” and another calling the portrayal spot-on. A few users also came up with suggestions to possibly improve the team’s look, with one comment expressing they would have preferred Starfire and Raven to not share the same type of helmet.
While the Teen Titans-themed look is entirely down to the efforts of a group of players, new official themed cosmetics from Bungie have also been announced to be on their way. As part of Destiny 2‘s collaboration with Street Fighter 6, players will soon be able to get their hands on Blanka-inspired gear in the shooter game. The forthcoming update, which also includes new emotes and finishers among other things, is scheduled to land on November 19.
