In an exciting crossover event, a Sony property is making waves in a Microsoft game. Sea of Thieves, the popular pirate-themed adventure from Microsoft, has now introduced new cosmetics inspired by the world of Destiny 2, bringing the epic battle against the Darkness to the high seas. This unique collaboration introduces the Lightbearer cosmetics set, which includes an array of new flags, ship cosmetics, a costume set, and more, allowing players to immerse themselves in the Destiny universe while sailing the treacherous waters of Sea of Thieves.
The trailer for this new set of items is packed with various Destiny references, from the iconic Drifter's outfit to a ghost playfully dangling off the front of a ship. The Pirate Emporium is brimming with options, enabling players to deck out their ships and sailors with these exciting Destiny-themed cosmetics.
Sea of Thieves made a splash on PlayStation last year, marking one of several Microsoft properties that have successfully transitioned to Sony's console. Meanwhile, Destiny, developed by Bungie, has remained a staple on Xbox even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover might blur the lines between consoles, but it's a delightful blend that sees the Drifter's outfit fitting seamlessly into the world of Sea of Thieves.
With the launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves has introduced a variety of new encounters, voyages, and content, keeping the long-running piracy experience fresh and engaging. 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 side, Destiny 2 has continued its journey with the launch of Heresy, navigating its way forward after the monumental narrative conclusion 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 ever-evolving landscape of live-service games.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have successfully navigated the shifting tides of live-service game production, and this crossover is a testament to their enduring appeal. The Destiny 2-themed cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, though it's yet to be seen if Destiny 2 will reciprocate with any Sea of Thieves content. In this writer's opinion, adding a grand pirate ship to the vast expanse of space in Destiny 2 would be an adventurous twist worth exploring.
