Sea of Thieves Joins Forces with Destiny 2 in Epic Crossover

In an exciting crossover event, a Sony property is making its way into 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. This collaboration brings the battle against the Darkness to the high seas, offering players a unique blend of both universes.

The Lightbearer cosmetics set includes a variety of items such as new flags, ship cosmetics, and a costume set, all designed to immerse players deeper into the Destiny 2 experience. The trailer for these new items showcases numerous references to Destiny, including the iconic Drifter's outfit and a ghost hanging off the front of a ship. The Pirate Emporium is packed with these Destiny-themed options, allowing players to customize their ships and sailors with flair from the space-faring shooter.

Sea of Thieves made a splash on PlayStation last year, marking one of several Microsoft games that have transitioned to Sony's console. Destiny, on the other hand, has been a staple on Xbox and continued its presence there even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover might blur traditional console boundaries, but it adds a fun twist to the game, with the Drifter's outfit particularly fitting into the pirate-themed world of Sea of Thieves.

With the launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves has introduced a range of new encounters, voyages, and fresh content to keep the piracy experience vibrant. Rare's game has maintained its popularity over time and even achieved significant success on the PlayStation 5, topping an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.

Meanwhile, Destiny 2 has rolled out its Heresy update and continues to evolve post its major narrative conclusion in The Final Shape. The game has also seen its share of crossovers, notably with Star Wars, showcasing its ability to integrate diverse themes into its universe.

Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have successfully navigated the challenging waters of live-service game production. This crossover is a testament to their enduring appeal and adaptability. The Destiny 2-themed cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, and while it's unclear if Destiny 2 will receive any Sea of Thieves content, the idea of a pirate ship sailing through space sounds intriguing. These innovative collaborations keep the gaming community engaged and eager for more.
