In an exciting crossover, a Sony property is making waves in a Microsoft game. Sea of Thieves has introduced new cosmetics inspired by the world of Destiny 2, allowing players to bring the battle against the Darkness to the high seas. The Lightbearer cosmetics set includes a variety of items such as new flags, ship cosmetics, and a costume set, enriching the game with Destiny-themed flair. The trailer for these new items showcases various nods to Destiny, from the Drifter's iconic outfit to a ghost hanging off the front of a ship. Players can explore a wealth of options in the Pirate Emporium to customize their ships and sailors with these unique Destiny cosmetics.
Sea of Thieves made a splash on PlayStation last year, marking one of several Microsoft titles that have ventured onto Sony's console. Meanwhile, Destiny, which has been available on Xbox, remains there even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover might blur some traditional console boundaries, but it's a delightful blend, with the Drifter's outfit particularly fitting the swashbuckling world of Sea of Thieves.
With the recent launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves has added new encounters, voyages, and fresh content to its enduring piracy experience. Rare's game has not only stayed afloat but has also seen significant success on the PlayStation 5, even topping an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
On the other hand, Destiny 2 has rolled out its Heresy expansion and continues to forge ahead following the narrative climax of The Final Shape. The space-faring shooter has also embraced crossovers, most notably with Star Wars, showcasing its ability to integrate diverse content.
Both games have adeptly navigated the evolving landscape of live-service game production, and this Sea of Thieves crossover with Destiny 2 is a testament to their enduring appeal. The new Destiny-themed cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, though it's uncertain if Destiny 2 will reciprocate with Sea of Thieves content. In a fun suggestion, perhaps a grand pirate ship could make its way into the vastness of space in Destiny 2. Just an imaginative thought!
