Summary
- One player has created a real-life Ghost shell for Destiny 2 inspired by the villain Lilith from Diablo 4.
- There are already numerous Ghost shell options in Destiny 2, with Bungie regularly adding more for players to choose from, including ones based on enemy races and major villains.
- The created Ghost shell received positive feedback from the community, with praise for its detailed design, leading some to suggest a potential crossover with Diablo 4 and highlighting the artistic talent within the Destiny 2 community.
There are plenty of shells available for Destiny 2 players to give their Ghosts some flair, but one player has gone a step further by creating a real-life Ghost shell, taking inspiration from the main villain of 2023's Diablo 4, Lilith. Plenty of shells already exist in the game, taking cues from the universe's many enemy races and major villains, including the Hive god Savathun and the slick-talking Eliksni pirate Spider. While crossover content isn't new to the series, this player's creation shows what is possible if Bungie decides to create more than cosmetic armor sets to reflect a Fortnite or Assassin's Creed partnership.
While players have been able to swap out the basic white Ghost shell since the original Destiny, options were much more limited back when the universe was just getting off the ground. Players who had pre-ordered the original game's collector's edition unlocked the Frontier shell, and it was the only alternate shell in the game until the launch of The Taken King expansion. Since then, Bungie hasn't been shy about adding more and more options for players to choose from, with several hundred to choose from in Destiny 2 as of Season of the Witch.
One artistic player took it upon themselves, though, to create their ideal Ghost shell in real life based on the daughter of hatred herself, Lilith, who served as the main villain of Diablo 4. Reddit user LGESM is the one behind this creation, showing just what a Ghost paying tribute to the creator of Sanctuary would possibly look like. The biggest giveaway is the horns protruding from the back of the Ghost which are almost a one-to-one match for Lilith's own demonic horns, while the custom base appears similar to one of the spells Lilith or one of her followers would cast.
LGESM's creation was met with largely positive feedback from other users, with consistent praise for the amount of detail put into the Ghost shell. Some players even commented that the design was so good, that they thought it was rendered in a computer before seeing a picture of the Ghost being held by LGESM's hand. Others argued that the shell is proof Bungie should do a crossover with Diablo 4, akin to the PlayStation, Fortnite, and Assassin's Creed cosmetic crossovers done in the past.
Along with a potential crossover, the shell is just another reminder of how many artistically talented members of the Destiny 2 community there are. A quick search online can find any number of detailed drawings along with life-size replicas of popular exotic weapons such as the Thorn and The Last Word. It would not be surprising to even see LGESM create more Destiny-centric creations in the future as well.
Destiny 2 is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
