The Art of Destiny 2, the follow-up to Titan's successful The Art of Destiny, is a celebration of the dynamic art and visual style that fans have come to love about Destiny. The world of Destiny is expansive and vibrant, encompassing planets within our solar system and those far beyond. Praised for its artistic style and imaginative worlds that paint a complex future of war, exploration, and hope, Destiny is packed with life and colour.

Customisable characters make every gaming experience visually unique, with the heroes and villains of Destiny crafted from worlds of science fiction past, yet brimming with their own style. The Art of Destiny 2 features hundreds of pieces of concept art, from early sketches and illustrations of characters to the colourful key art the designers used to help shape the in-game worlds. Each step of the process is meticulously detailed, from building in-game cinematics to crafting the complex universe. This book celebrates the exceptional attention to detail that the developers at Bungie have put into Destiny 2, and continues the high production quality that made The Art of Destiny a best-selling gaming art book.

With exclusive, never-before-seen imagery, developer commentary, and more, The Art of Destiny 2 is the perfect gift for fans of The Art of Destiny, and those seeking the companion book to one of the most anticipated game releases of 2017.
