In an exciting crossover event, a Sony property is making its mark within a Microsoft game. Sea of Thieves, the popular pirate-themed adventure, has now incorporated new cosmetics inspired by the world of Destiny 2, bringing the battle against the Darkness to the high seas. This collaboration introduces the Lightbearer cosmetics set, which includes an array of new flags, ship cosmetics, a costume set, and more. The trailer for these new items is filled with nods to Destiny, showcasing elements like the Drifter's outfit and a Ghost hanging off the front of a ship. Players can explore a variety of Destiny-themed options at the Pirate Emporium to fully customize their ship and character.
Sea of Thieves expanded its reach to PlayStation last year, marking one of several Microsoft titles that have made the leap to Sony's console. Meanwhile, Destiny has been a staple on Xbox and continued its presence there even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover might blur the lines between console ecosystems, but it's a delightful blend, especially with the Drifter's outfit fitting seamlessly into the pirate-themed world of Sea of Thieves.
With the launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves has introduced a host of new encounters, voyages, and content, keeping the pirate experience fresh and engaging. Rare's game has not only maintained its popularity but also seen success on the PlayStation 5, topping an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
On the other hand, Destiny 2 has released the Heresy update and is navigating its way forward after the narrative climax of The Final Shape. The space-faring shooter has also engaged in other crossovers, notably with Star Wars, showcasing its ability to adapt and thrive in the dynamic landscape of live-service games.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have successfully navigated the evolving world of live-service gaming, and this crossover is 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 feature any Sea of Thieves content in return, the idea of a massive pirate ship sailing through space certainly sparks the imagination.
