A fascinating crossover is happening between a Sony property and a Microsoft game, as Sea of Thieves introduces new cosmetics inspired by the world of Destiny 2. This collaboration brings the battle against the Darkness to the high seas, offering players a unique blend of both universes. The Lightbearer cosmetics set, now available in Sea of Thieves, includes an array of items such as new flags, ship cosmetics, and a costume set. The trailer for this exciting addition showcases various Destiny references, from the iconic Drifter's outfit to a ghost hanging off the front of a ship. Players can explore a wealth of options at the Pirate Emporium to deck out their ships and sailors with these 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, which has been available on Xbox, continued its presence there even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover might blur the lines between consoles, but it's a delightful blend, especially with the Drifter's outfit fitting seamlessly into the world of Sea of Thieves.
With the launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves has introduced various 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, even topping an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
On the other hand, Destiny 2 has released Heresy and is navigating its way forward after the narrative climax in The Final Shape. The space-faring shooter has also engaged in recent 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, making this crossover a testament to their enduring appeal. The Destiny 2-inspired cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, and while it's uncertain if Destiny 2 will receive any Sea of Thieves content, the idea of a pirate ship sailing through space is certainly an intriguing one to consider.
