Bungie have revealed that the next update for popular game ‘Destiny’ will feature a colourblind mode. There are gamers that struggle to distinguish colours in the game, so colourblind mode is Bungie’s solution to the problem.

“You may not have trouble distinguishing the red blips on the motion tracker from the red surface of Mars, for example, but chances are you know someone who does. Our solution for this subset of our community is a proper ‘Colourblind Mode’ for Destiny. Adapting the existing user interface to support various colourblind modes turned out to be a fairly complex challenge. But we managed to build a flexible toolkit for our designers that helped them do just that with minimally-invasive surgery and no negative impact to existing functionality.” (Brad Fish, Bungie)

When the new update is ready, colourblind gamers will see a higher contrast level helping to differentiate colours.
