In an exciting crossover event, a Sony property has made its way into the Microsoft-owned game, Sea of Thieves. The popular pirate adventure game has introduced new cosmetics inspired by the world of Destiny 2, allowing players to bring the fight against the Darkness to the high seas. The Lightbearer cosmetics set includes a variety of items such as new flags, ship cosmetics, and a costume set, among others. The trailer for these new items showcases various Destiny references, including the Drifter's outfit and a ghost dangling off the front of a ship. The Pirate Emporium offers a plethora of options for players to customize their ship and sailor with Destiny-themed cosmetics.
Sea of Thieves made a splash on PlayStation last year, marking one of several Microsoft properties that have expanded to Sony's console. Meanwhile, Destiny has remained on Xbox even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover might blur some perceived console boundaries, but it's a fun addition, particularly with the Drifter's outfit fitting seamlessly into the world of Sea of Thieves.
Season 15 of Sea of Thieves has recently launched, bringing with it new encounters, voyages, and fresh content to the enduring piracy experience. Rare's game has not only stayed afloat but has also seen significant success on the PlayStation 5, even topping an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
On the other hand, Destiny 2 has released Heresy and continues to navigate its path following the major narrative conclusion in The Final Shape. The space-faring shooter has also engaged in recent crossovers, most notably with Star Wars.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have successfully navigated the ever-changing landscape of live-service game production. It's exciting to see them collaborate in this Sea of Thieves crossover. The Destiny 2-inspired cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, though it's unclear if Destiny 2 will receive any Sea of Thieves content in return. In this writer's opinion, adding a large pirate boat to the space setting of Destiny 2 would be an intriguing addition.
