In an exciting blend of gaming universes, a Sony property is making a splash in a Microsoft title. Sea of Thieves, the popular pirate-themed adventure game, has just introduced a new set of cosmetics inspired by Destiny 2, allowing players to bring the battle against the Darkness to the high seas. The Lightbearer cosmetics set includes an array of items such as new flags, ship decorations, and a unique costume set, all infused with elements from the Destiny universe. In the trailer showcasing these new additions, keen-eyed fans can spot various nods to Destiny, including the Drifter's iconic outfit and a ghost figure hanging off the ship's bow. The Pirate Emporium is stocked with these Destiny-themed options, enabling players to customize their ships and avatars with flair from the space-faring shooter.
Sea of Thieves made its debut on PlayStation last year, marking one of several Microsoft titles that have crossed over to Sony's platform. Meanwhile, Destiny, developed by Bungie which was acquired by Sony, has remained a staple on Xbox. This crossover may blur traditional console boundaries, but it brings a fun and fitting addition to Sea of Thieves, with the Drifter's outfit particularly resonating with the game's pirate aesthetic.
With the launch of Season 15, Sea of Thieves continues to expand its horizons, introducing new encounters, voyages, and fresh content to its enduring piracy experience. Developed by Rare, the game has not only managed to stay relevant over time but also found success on the PlayStation 5, topping EU sales charts upon its release on the platform.
On the other side, Destiny 2 has recently launched the Heresy expansion, continuing its journey post the significant narrative closure in The Final Shape. The game has also engaged in its own crossovers, most notably with Star Wars, showcasing its versatility in the live-service gaming landscape.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have adeptly navigated the evolving dynamics of live-service game production. This crossover between the two is a testament to their enduring appeal and adaptability. The Destiny 2-inspired cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, although it's unclear if Destiny 2 will reciprocate with Sea of Thieves-themed content. In an imaginative twist, this writer suggests the addition of a grand pirate ship in the vast expanse of space, merging the two worlds in an even more spectacular way.
