The Force Arrives in the Solar System
In what might be the most ambitious crossover in Destiny 2’s history, Bungie has partnered with Lucasfilm Games to bring the iconic Star Wars universe into the world of Guardians. This collaboration, launching alongside Episode Heresy on February 4, 2025, introduces meticulously crafted armor sets and cosmetics that seamlessly blend both universes while honoring their unique identities.
Imperial Fashion Meets Guardian Classes
Each Guardian class receives a distinctive armor set inspired by iconic Star Wars characters, carefully designed to complement their existing playstyles and aesthetics.
For Hunters, the Covert Ranger Set draws inspiration from the elite Death Troopers, featuring sleek black armor that emphasizes stealth and precision. This set particularly complements the new Void Aspect, making it both stylish and thematically appropriate for the class’s tactical nature.
Warlocks don the majesty of the Imperial Royal Guard through the Royal Protector Set. The distinctive red coloration and flowing robes capture the ceremonial yet deadly nature of these elite guards, perfectly matching the Warlock’s mystical character while adding Imperial grandeur to their appearance.
Titans, fittingly, receive the most recognizable design with the Shock Enforcer Set, based on the classic Stormtrooper armor. The iconic white plating and distinctive helmet design create an imposing presence that suits the Titan’s frontline role – and yes, your aim will still be your own responsibility.
Beyond Armor: Additional Star Wars Cosmetics
The centerpiece of the additional cosmetics is the DS-2 Ghost Shell, featuring an intricate Death Star design that turns your loyal companion into a miniature version of the infamous battle station. While Bungie has kept some surprises under wraps, players can expect additional emotes, finishers, and other Star Wars-themed accessories to be revealed.
Community speculation suggests we might see: * Force-themed finishers * Vehicle-based emotes * Star Wars-inspired visual effects * Themed transmat effects
Obtaining the Collection
All Star Wars items will be available through the Eververse Store starting February 4, 2025. Unlike some previous collaborations, these items will be permanent additions to the store, eliminating any pressure to purchase immediately. Each armor set is expected to cost 2,000 Silver (approximately $20 USD), following the pricing model of previous high-profile collaborations.
Perfect Timing with Episode Heresy
The collaboration’s launch alongside Episode Heresy creates exciting opportunities for players. Imagine exploring the transformed Dreadnaught in Imperial armor or taking on The Nether activity while channeling your inner Star Wars hero. The timing provides perfect screenshot opportunities and adds an extra layer of excitement to the new content.
Customization and Long-Term Value
One of the most exciting aspects of this collaboration is its integration with Destiny 2’s existing customization systems. All armor pieces are fully compatible with shaders and can be mixed with other ornaments, allowing for unique combinations that span both universes. This flexibility ensures the collection maintains its value long after purchase.
Key benefits include: * Full shader compatibility * Mix-and-match potential with existing gear * Individual piece customization * No time limit for purchase * Usable across all content
Community Response and Reception
The announcement has generated unprecedented excitement within both the Destiny 2 and Star Wars communities. Players have particularly praised the attention to detail in the armor designs and how each set naturally fits its corresponding Guardian class while maintaining authentic Star Wars aesthetics.
Making the Most of Your Purchase
Before investing in these sets, consider watching preview videos and checking shader compatibility with your favorite color schemes. Once purchased, experiment with different combinations and share your unique looks with the community. The photo mode offers excellent opportunities to showcase your Guardian’s new Imperial style.
Looking to the Future
This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Destiny 2, potentially opening doors for future Star Wars content and other high-profile crossovers. The permanent addition of these items to the Eververse Store suggests a long-term commitment to maintaining and possibly expanding this unique partnership.
