In an exciting crossover event, a Sony property is making waves in a Microsoft game as Sea of Thieves introduces new cosmetics inspired by the world of Destiny 2. This unique blend brings the battle against the Darkness to the high seas, offering players the Lightbearer cosmetics set. This set includes a variety of items such as new flags, ship cosmetics, a costume set, and more, allowing players to immerse themselves in a Destiny-themed pirate adventure.
The trailer for these new items showcases various nods to Destiny, including the iconic Drifter's outfit and a ghost hanging off the front of a ship. The Pirate Emporium is brimming with options, enabling players to fully deck out their ships and sailors with these distinctive Destiny-inspired cosmetics.
Sea of Thieves made its debut on PlayStation last year, marking it as one of several Microsoft properties that have transitioned to Sony's console. Destiny, on the other hand, has remained on Xbox, even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover not only blurs traditional console boundaries but also adds a delightful twist to the game, with the Drifter's outfit particularly fitting into the Sea of Thieves' world.
With the recent launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves continues to expand with new encounters, voyages, and content, keeping the piracy experience fresh and engaging. Rare's game has maintained its buoyancy over time and has seen impressive success on the PlayStation 5, even topping an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
Meanwhile, Destiny 2 has released Heresy and is progressing beyond its significant narrative conclusion in The Final Shape. The space-faring shooter has engaged in its own crossovers, notably with Star Wars, showcasing its adaptability and appeal in the live-service gaming landscape.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have navigated the ever-changing tides of live-service game development successfully, making this crossover a fitting celebration of their resilience and creativity. The Destiny 2-themed cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, and while it's uncertain if Destiny 2 will feature Sea of Thieves content, the idea of a pirate ship sailing through space is certainly an intriguing one.
