A fascinating crossover has emerged as a Sony property, Destiny 2, enters the realm of Microsoft's Sea of Thieves, bringing a touch of the fight against the Darkness to the high seas. The newly introduced Lightbearer cosmetics set enriches Sea of Thieves with new flags, ship enhancements, and a captivating costume set, among other items. The promotional trailer for this crossover is packed with Destiny references, including the iconic Drifter's outfit and a ghost adorning the bow of a ship. Players can explore an array of Destiny-themed options at the Pirate Emporium to personalize their ships and avatars.
Last year, Sea of Thieves expanded its horizons by making its debut on PlayStation, marking one of several Microsoft titles that have ventured onto Sony's console. Destiny, on the other hand, has been a staple on Xbox and continued its presence there even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover may blur traditional console boundaries, but it adds a delightful twist to Sea of Thieves, particularly with the Drifter's outfit seamlessly fitting into the pirate-themed world.The recent launch of Season 15 for Sea of Thieves has brought fresh encounters, voyages, and content to the enduring piracy experience. Rare's game has not only maintained its buoyancy but also achieved notable success on PlayStation 5, having topped an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
Meanwhile, Destiny 2 has embarked on its Heresy storyline, navigating away from the narrative climax of The Final Shape. This space-faring shooter has also engaged in its own crossovers, notably with Star Wars.
Both titles have adeptly navigated the evolving landscape of live-service game development, making this Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 collaboration all the more intriguing. The Destiny 2-themed cosmetics are currently available in Sea of Thieves, yet it's uncertain if Destiny 2 will reciprocate with Sea of Thieves content. As a whimsical suggestion, incorporating a grand pirate vessel into Destiny 2's space environment could make for an exciting addition.
