Summary

  • Destiny 2 announces collaboration with Star Wars, offering armor sets inspired by iconic characters like Stormtroopers and Death Troopers.
  • A new ghost shell in Destiny 2 turns it into the Death Star, adding more Star Wars-themed content to the game.
  • Destiny 2 collaborations with various IPs continue, including a recent crossover with Street Fighter 6, expanding premium offerings.

During its Episode Heresy Act 1 livestream, Bungie reveals a new Destiny 2 collaboration event with the Star Wars franchise, bringing new armor and cosmetic items to the game. It was a big day for Destiny 2 fans as Bungie finally pulled the curtain back on the first act of Episode Heresy and the long awaited return of the Dreadnaught.

Prior to Bungie's livestream event, the studio has been sharing plenty of sandbox related changes coming to Destiny 2 on February 4 when Episode Heresy launches. While keeping the narrative and gameplay loop under wraps, fans have gotten a good look at ability changes, a huge update to Trials of Osiris, and even one Destiny 2 exotic weapon getting a massive buff. However, the livestream finally filled in some gaps, including the new Nether activity, weapons, as well as a special collaboration.

In a final announcement during Bungie's January 28 livestream, the team confirmed that Destiny 2's latest collaboration is with none other than Star Wars. The highlight of the reveal was three different armor sets, one for each class. When the cosmetics become available during the launch of Episode Heresy on February 4, Hunters get the Covert Ranger Set, which seems to take inspiration from Death Troopers. Warlocks can get the Royal Protector Set, which is inspired by Imperial Royal Guard. Finally, Titan's get the Shock Enforcer Set, which is very clearly inspired by the classic Stormtrooper armor.

While the armor sets may be the biggest piece of this collaboration for most fans, the collaboration has even more content. Specifically, players can pick up a new ghost shell that turns it into the second Death Star from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, complete with a little green laser firing. Naturally, players will likely need to use Destiny 2's premium currency known as Silver to purchase these items instead of Bright Dust.

Over the past few years, collaborations have increasingly become a major part of Destiny 2's premium offerings. While it may not quite be on the level of other live service titles like Fortnite, Bungie has already partnered with a wide variety of IPs and franchises to bring cosmetics and armor sets to the game. In fact, Destiny 2's most recent crossover involved Street Fighter 6, adding a Blanka helmet, Ghost Shells based on Ryu, Chun-li, and Cammy, finisher moves, as well as one emote that references one of the franchise's iconic minigames.
