In an exciting crossover event, a Sony property is making waves in a Microsoft game. Sea of Thieves, the popular pirate-themed adventure, has introduced new cosmetics inspired by the world of Destiny 2, bringing the epic 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, allowing players to immerse themselves in the Destiny universe while sailing the treacherous waters.
The trailer for the new set showcases numerous Destiny references, from the iconic Drifter's outfit to a ghost hanging off the front of a ship. The Pirate Emporium is brimming with options, enabling players to deck out their ships and sailors with these unique Destiny-themed cosmetics.
Sea of Thieves made a splash on PlayStation last year, marking one of several Microsoft properties that have expanded to Sony's console. Meanwhile, Destiny has remained a staple on Xbox, even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover blurs traditional console boundaries, yet it's a delightful blend, with the Drifter's outfit particularly fitting the swashbuckling world of Sea of Thieves.
With the launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves has introduced new encounters, voyages, and content, keeping the piracy experience fresh and engaging. Rare's game has not only stayed afloat but has also seen significant success on the PlayStation 5, topping an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
On the other hand, Destiny 2 has released the Heresy expansion and continues to evolve following the narrative climax in The Final Shape. The space-faring shooter has also embraced crossovers, notably with Star Wars, showcasing its ability to adapt and thrive in the dynamic landscape of live-service games.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have navigated the ever-changing tides of live-service game production successfully, making this crossover a fitting celebration of their resilience. The Destiny 2-themed cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, though it's uncertain if Destiny 2 will reciprocate with Sea of Thieves content. In an imaginative twist, envisioning a massive pirate ship sailing through the cosmos could be an exciting addition to Destiny 2's universe.
