A fascinating crossover has set sail in the gaming world, as Sea of Thieves, a Microsoft title, welcomes elements from Sony's Destiny 2. The Lightbearer cosmetics set introduces an array of Destiny-inspired items to the pirate-themed adventure, including new flags, ship cosmetics, and a costume set. The trailer for this new collection is brimming with nods to Destiny, showcasing the Drifter's outfit and even a ghost hanging off a ship's bow. Players can explore these exciting options at the Pirate Emporium, where they can fully customize their ships and characters with Destiny-themed flair.
Sea of Thieves expanded its horizons to PlayStation last year, marking one of several Microsoft games making the leap to Sony's console. Destiny, conversely, has remained a staple on Xbox, even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover not only bridges perceived console divides but also brings a delightful blend of themes, with the Drifter's outfit fitting seamlessly into the pirate world of Sea of Thieves.With the launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves introduces fresh encounters, voyages, and content to its enduring piracy saga. Rare's title has not only maintained its buoyancy but has also thrived on the PlayStation 5, once topping an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
On the other side, Destiny 2's Heresy expansion continues to evolve the game's narrative post its significant conclusion in The Final Shape. The space-faring shooter has engaged in its own crossovers, notably with Star Wars, showcasing its ability to integrate diverse universes into its lore.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have successfully navigated the challenging waters of live-service game development, making this crossover a testament to their resilience and creativity. The Destiny 2-themed cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, sparking curiosity about potential Sea of Thieves content in Destiny 2. The idea of a giant pirate ship sailing through space, as suggested by some enthusiasts, adds an intriguing twist to this inter-game collaboration.
