According to Tassi, while the icons don’t represent the same abilities in each game, their shapes and design elements are strikingly similar, suggesting that the developers were heavily inspired by Bungie’s popular game.

In his analysis, Tassi also noted the similarities between many of the weapons in the first Destiny and those in Destiny 2.
