From action figures and gaming accessories to Destiny-themed homeware and sketch books, here are the best gifts for any Destiny fan.
Intergalactic sci-fi video game Destiny is one of the few titles to maintain loyal fan-base dedicated to playing on a regular basis years after launch. Following its long-awaited sequel, Destiny 2, we're taking a look at all the latest Destiny merchandise. So whether you're a Warlock, Titan or Hunter, we've got something for you. Or perhaps you are seeking a Destiny gift for a fan in the run-up to Christmas, in which case, we've got you covered. Let's take a guided look at all the Destiny series merchandise and gifts online currently.
One of the most highly anticipated video games of all time, the original Destiny was released in 2014 by Bungie, the lauded creators of Halo.It promised to deliver an entirely new gaming experience, and generated a ton of heat on announcement. Whilst Destiny did go on to sell a remarkably large amount of units, it was a divisive title among both fans and critics. Some praised the game-play and atmosphere, others were dissatisfied with the amount of content in the launch package.
However the game established a dedicated fan-base and pushed out millions of units globally. Over the years Destiny has proved itself to be a fulfilling experience with a near-constant stream of content being added every few months. Since launch, developer Bungie made frequent updates with patches, fixes and game-play balances to make the experience immersive for each and every player; veteran or newcomer. Now Destiny fans are enjoying the latest Destiny 2, which has been released on PC (a first for the series) as well as on Xbox One and PS4.
The franchise's first fully-fledged sequel Destiny 2 promised to deliver an experience that would delight fans of the original Destiny, whilst encouraging a whole new batch of players to join the fold. Destiny 2's initial announcement trailer featured a familiar face from the original game - Cayde-6, a robot Vanguard voiced by Nathan Fillion - and gave a brief glimpse of iconic location 'The Tower' under attack from 'The Cabal' (a group of enemies from the first game). Now you've been briefed on the latest Destiny news, let's take a closer look at the merchandise available currently. There's a real range, spanning everything from candles to onesies, to gorgeous journals and super-cool console accessorises.
