As far as official information goes, I believe this portion from TWAB 9/24/2020 was the most recent update in terms of character appearance changes. [quote][b]We rebuilt our character face system.[/b] We know that how your Guardians look is important to you, and we’ve long wanted to add more player customization to Destiny. Our original system for player faces had some combinatoric content authoring problems – for example, every decal had to be authored completely custom for each player face permutation. This prevented us from extending this area of the game with more content and features. We’ve upgraded to a significantly more capable system (with e.g. runtime decal projection), which we hope to leverage for more player customization options in the future. As part of this process we reviewed the existing player models with our Diversity Committee and Employee Resource Groups in the studio to make small tweaks to existing player heads. We’re also building a list of Guardian face shapes we should bring to the game in the future in order to increase Guardian diversity in Destiny, with the long-term goal of enabling everyone to imagine themselves as their Guardian. What you might notice: Your Guardian’s face may look a bit different. [/quote] Basically: How the player character face is generated/rendered was changed to easily support more additions. My [i]speculation[/i]: More additions in the future likely means they would want existing players to be able to take advantage of it, and add a 'face-change' sort of component sometime down the line.
