Science fiction and fantasy has long had a fascination with images drawn from ancient Egyptian culture and art, and despite its far future setting, Destiny 2 is no stranger to them. The game’s distinct visual aesthetic refers to Ancient Egypt in ways both explicit and subtle. Some game elements are directly named after Ancient Egyptian concepts, like the Trials of Osiris Destiny 2 game mode (and the character of Osiris himself). Pieces of environmental art and landscapes also occasionally evoke Egyptian megastructures, like the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx of Giza.
