Destiny 2's latest expansion brings back nostalgia by reintroducing the original game's menu music, resonating with longtime players. This reminiscent sound transports players to fond memories, reminiscent of moments spent playing the game. The music composed by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori is deeply connected to the early identity of the franchise. As modern Destiny faces scrutiny, the nostalgic elements remind fans of the original excitement and unique experience that once defined the series, contrasting with its more complex recent years.
Hearing the Destiny 1 menu theme is like hearing an old hit single you'd long forgotten about come on the radio and instantly hit you like a ton of bricks.
At a time when the identity of Destiny has never felt more contested, the music is a beautiful reminder of the things that originally hooked fans.
The music was composed by people who have long since left the studio, including Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, whose layoff in 2023 shocked long-time fans.
Fans look back and pine for the good old days when the sci-fi lore was less convoluted and held more promise.
