In an exciting crossover event, Sea of Thieves, a Microsoft game, is embracing elements from Sony's Destiny 2, bringing the epic battle against the Darkness to the high seas. The newly introduced Lightbearer cosmetics set enriches the game with Destiny-inspired flags, ship cosmetics, and a unique costume set. The trailer showcases various nods to Destiny, including the iconic Drifter's outfit and a ghost hanging off the bow of a ship. Players can explore a vast array of Destiny-themed options at the Pirate Emporium, perfect for customizing their ships and sailors.
Sea of Thieves made a splash on PlayStation last year, marking one of the several Microsoft titles that have successfully transitioned to Sony's console. On the other hand, Destiny has maintained its presence on Xbox, even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover blurs traditional console boundaries, offering a thrilling blend that fits seamlessly into the world of Sea of Thieves, particularly with the Drifter's outfit.
With the launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves has introduced new encounters, voyages, and content, keeping the pirate adventure vibrant and engaging. Rare's game has not only stayed afloat but thrived, achieving notable success on the PlayStation 5, where it topped an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
Meanwhile, Destiny 2 has embarked on its Heresy expansion, continuing its journey beyond the monumental narrative of The Final Shape. The space-faring shooter has also engaged in other notable crossovers, including one with Star Wars.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have adeptly navigated the ever-evolving landscape of live-service games, making their collaboration in this crossover particularly intriguing. The Destiny 2-themed cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, sparking curiosity about potential reciprocal content from Sea of Thieves in Destiny 2. Imagine a giant pirate ship sailing through the cosmos—now that would be an adventure worth exploring!
