Two gigantic sci-fi worlds collide: Bungie brings Star Wars into Destiny 2 and creates one of the most spectacular crossovers of recent years. With the launch of the third episode “Heresy” on February 4, players can look forward to galactic armor, exotic weapons and detailed skins. But not everyone is thrilled – because the implementation is so true to the original that it causes discussion.
An epic clash
Some collaborations seem like they come from another dimension, but this one is a real highlight. Destiny 2, which is characterized by epic battles and a vast sci-fi world, meets what is arguably the most famous franchise in the genre. The result: a unique experience for players who want to jump into battle as a Stormtrooper.
For every warden class , there is a separate armor inspired by the imperial soldiers , which not only impresses stylistically but also atmospherically. In addition, there is a special highlight for the loyal companion of every guardian: a new skin transforms the Ghost into a mini version of the Death Star . But that’s not all – with the update, Bungie is also delivering a brand new Sparrow skin, exclusive finishers and numerous other cosmetic additions.
The perfect time for a comeback?
The Star Wars crossover comes at just the right time. Since the conclusion of the major storyline with “The Final Shape” , Destiny 2 has become a little quieter. Bungie is now focusing on smaller episodes instead of major expansions, which has kept many players at a distance. But with this event, there is now a solid reason to get back into the game.
The extraordinary attention to detail is particularly exciting. While previous collaborations often only vaguely resembled their templates, the new Star Wars skins look like they’ve been taken directly from a movie. The Stormtrooper armor stays true to the template – let’s just hope that their infamous “hit ratios” don’t affect gameplay.
