A fascinating crossover is making waves in the gaming world, as a Sony property ventures into a Microsoft game. Sea of Thieves, the popular pirate-themed adventure from Microsoft, has introduced new cosmetics inspired by Bungie's Destiny 2, allowing players to bring the battle against the Darkness to the high seas.
The newly released Lightbearer cosmetics set brings a host of Destiny-inspired items to Sea of Thieves, including new flags, ship cosmetics, and a costume set. The trailer for these new items is packed with nods to Destiny, featuring everything from the Drifter's iconic outfit to a ghost playfully dangling from the front of a ship. Players can explore a variety of Destiny-themed options at the Pirate Emporium to customize their ships and avatars.
Sea of Thieves expanded its reach to PlayStation consoles last year, marking one of several Microsoft titles that have made the leap to Sony's platform. Destiny, developed by Bungie and now under Sony's umbrella, has maintained its presence on Xbox. This crossover not only blurs traditional console boundaries but also adds a fun twist to Sea of Thieves, with the Drifter's outfit seamlessly fitting into its pirate-themed world.With the launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves continues to evolve, introducing fresh encounters, voyages, and content to keep the piracy adventure engaging. Rare's game has proven its staying power, even achieving success on the PlayStation 5, where it topped an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
Meanwhile, Destiny 2 pushes forward with its latest expansion, Heresy, navigating the aftermath of its narrative climax in The Final Shape. The space-faring shooter has embraced its own crossovers recently, notably with Star Wars, showcasing its adaptability in the live-service game landscape.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have adeptly navigated the dynamic environment of live-service games, making their collaboration in this crossover a delightful surprise. The Destiny 2-themed cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, sparking curiosity about potential Sea of Thieves content in Destiny 2. Imagine a massive pirate ship sailing through the cosmos—it's an intriguing concept that could further enhance the crossover experience.
