Exciting news for fans of both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2! A unique crossover event is now underway, blending the vibrant worlds of these two iconic games. Sea of Thieves, a popular title from Microsoft, has welcomed a splash of Destiny 2 flair with the introduction of the Lightbearer cosmetics set. This set brings a touch of the Destiny universe to the high seas, complete with new flags, ship cosmetics, and a costume set inspired by the world of Destiny 2.
In the trailer showcasing the new items, eagle-eyed fans can spot various nods to Destiny, from the iconic Drifter's outfit to a ghost playfully dangling off the front of a pirate ship. The Pirate Emporium is stocked with an array of Destiny-themed options, allowing players to deck out their ships and sailors in style. This crossover is especially intriguing as Sea of Thieves made its debut on PlayStation last year, marking one of the several Microsoft titles to cross over to Sony's console. Meanwhile, Destiny 2, developed by Bungie and acquired by Sony, continues to thrive on Xbox platforms.
With the launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves has rolled out new encounters, voyages, and fresh content to enhance the long-running piracy experience. Rare's game has not only maintained its popularity but also achieved significant success on the PlayStation 5, even topping an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
On the other side, Destiny 2 is pushing forward with its latest expansion, Heresy, following the narrative climax of The Final Shape. The game has also embraced crossovers, notably with the Star Wars franchise, showcasing its ability to adapt and engage its community with fresh content.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have navigated the challenging waters of live-service gaming, and this crossover event highlights their enduring appeal. The Lightbearer cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, adding a new layer of excitement for players. While it's unclear if Destiny 2 will reciprocate with Sea of Thieves-themed content, the idea of a massive pirate ship sailing through space certainly sparks the imagination. This crossover not only blurs the lines between console ecosystems but also celebrates the creativity and community that both games foster.
