A fascinating crossover is happening between a Sony property and a Microsoft game, as Sea of Thieves introduces new cosmetics inspired by Destiny 2, bringing 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. The trailer for these new items showcases numerous Destiny references, including the Drifter's outfit and a ghost hanging off the front of a ship. Players can find a wealth of options at the Pirate Emporium to customize their ships and sailors with these Destiny-themed cosmetics.
Sea of Thieves made its debut on PlayStation last year, marking one of several Microsoft properties that have transitioned to Sony's console. Destiny, on the other hand, has been available on Xbox and continued to be so even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover might blur the lines between consoles, but it's a delightful blend, especially with the Drifter's outfit fitting seamlessly into the world of Sea of Thieves.Season 15 of Sea of Thieves has recently launched, introducing new encounters, voyages, and additional content to the enduring piracy experience. Rare's game has not only stayed afloat but has also seen success on the PlayStation 5, topping an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
Meanwhile, Destiny 2 has released Heresy and is navigating its way forward following the significant narrative conclusion in The Final Shape. The space-faring shooter has also engaged in recent crossovers, notably with Star Wars.
Both games have successfully navigated the dynamic landscape of live-service game production, making this Sea of Thieves crossover a noteworthy collaboration. The Destiny 2-inspired cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, though it's uncertain if Destiny 2 will receive any Sea of Thieves content in return. In this writer's opinion, adding a large pirate boat in space would be an exciting addition. Just a thought.
