In an exciting crossover event, Sea of Thieves, a Microsoft game, is now featuring new cosmetics inspired by the world of Destiny 2, a Sony property. This unique collaboration brings the epic battle against the Darkness to the high seas. The newly introduced Lightbearer cosmetics set includes a variety of items such as new flags, ship cosmetics, and a costume set that lets players immerse themselves in the Destiny universe while navigating the treacherous waters of Sea of Thieves.
The trailer for this new set showcases several nods to Destiny 2, including the iconic Drifter's outfit and a ghost playfully hanging off the front of a ship. Players can explore these and more at the Pirate Emporium, where a wide range of Destiny-themed options are available to customize their ships and sailors.
Sea of Thieves made a splash on PlayStation last year, joining the ranks of Microsoft games that have transitioned to Sony's console. Meanwhile, Destiny 2 has been a staple on Xbox and continued its presence there even after Bungie was acquired by Sony. This crossover blurs traditional console boundaries, yet it feels fitting, especially with the Drifter's outfit seamlessly integrating into the pirate-themed world of Sea of Thieves.
With the launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves introduces new encounters, voyages, and content, keeping the piracy experience fresh and engaging. Rare's game has not only maintained its popularity over time but has also achieved significant success on the PlayStation 5, notably topping an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
On the other hand, Destiny 2 has continued its journey with the release of Heresy, moving forward from the monumental narrative climax in The Final Shape. The game has also embraced crossovers, notably with Star Wars, demonstrating its ability to adapt and thrive in the dynamic world of live-service gaming.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have navigated the challenging waters of live-service game development successfully, and this crossover is a testament to their enduring appeal. The Destiny 2-inspired cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, sparking curiosity about potential future collaborations, such as introducing Sea of Thieves elements into Destiny 2. While no such plans have been announced, the idea of a massive pirate ship sailing through space is certainly an intriguing one.
