A fascinating crossover has emerged as a Sony property ventures into a Microsoft game. Sea of Thieves, the popular pirate-themed adventure, now features new cosmetics inspired by the world of Destiny 2, allowing players to bring the battle against the Darkness to the high seas.
The Lightbearer cosmetics set introduces a range of exciting options, including new flags, ship cosmetics, and a full costume set. In the trailer showcasing these new items, keen-eyed fans can spot various Destiny references, such as the Drifter's outfit and a ghost hanging off the front of a ship. The Pirate Emporium is brimming with choices to customize your ship and sailor with these unique Destiny-themed cosmetics.
Sea of Thieves made a splash on PlayStation last year, joining other Microsoft properties that have crossed over to Sony's console. Destiny, on the other hand, has been a staple on Xbox and remained there even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover might blur traditional console boundaries, 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 added a slew of new encounters, voyages, and fresh content, keeping the long-running piracy experience vibrant. Rare's game has not only stayed afloat but has also seen considerable success on the PlayStation 5, even topping an EU sales chart upon its debut on the platform.
Meanwhile, Destiny 2 continues to evolve with the launch of Heresy, forging its path beyond the monumental narrative conclusion in The Final Shape. The space-faring shooter has also engaged in recent crossovers, most notably with Star Wars.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have navigated the dynamic landscape of live-service gaming successfully, and their collaboration in this crossover event is a testament to their enduring appeal. The Destiny 2-inspired cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, though it remains to be seen if Destiny 2 will receive any Sea of Thieves content in return. In this writer's opinion, introducing a massive pirate ship into the vastness of space would be an exciting addition. Just a thought.
