In an exciting crossover event, a Sony property has made its way into a Microsoft game, bringing elements from Destiny 2 into the adventurous world of Sea of Thieves. This collaboration introduces the Lightbearer cosmetics set, which includes new flags, ship cosmetics, a costume set, and more. The trailer for this new set is packed with Destiny references, from the Drifter's iconic outfit to a ghost playfully dangling off the front of a ship. Players can explore a variety of options at the Pirate Emporium to fully customize their ships and sailors with these Destiny-inspired cosmetics.
Sea of Thieves made its debut on PlayStation last year, marking one of several Microsoft games that have expanded to Sony's console. On the other hand, Destiny has remained on Xbox even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover might blur the lines between consoles, 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 recent launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves has introduced new encounters, voyages, and content to its enduring piracy experience. Rare's game has not only stayed afloat but thrived, notably achieving success on the PlayStation 5 and even topping an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
Meanwhile, Destiny 2 has rolled out Heresy and continues to evolve following its major narrative arc in The Final Shape. The game has also embraced crossovers, most notably with Star Wars, demonstrating its adaptability in the live-service gaming landscape.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have navigated the challenging waters of live-service game production successfully, and this crossover is a testament to their resilience and creativity. The Lightbearer cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, sparking curiosity about whether Destiny 2 might soon feature some pirate-themed content. Personally, the idea of a massive pirate ship sailing through space sounds thrilling.
