In a surprise move, Bungie and LucasFilms have announced a partnership to bring Star Wars-themed armor sets, accessories, and emotes to Destiny 2. The new content will be available as part of the upcoming Heresy Act I update, set to launch on February 4.

The Star Wars-themed items will include armor sets inspired by iconic characters from the franchise. Hunters will be able to don a death trooper-inspired Covert Rangers set, while Warlocks will have access to a Royal Protector set inspired by the red-cloaked Imperial Guards. Titans, on the other hand, will be able to wear a classic stormtrooper Shock Enforcer set. Additionally, a new Ghost shell that resembles the second Death Star will be available, along with a new Sparrow, ship, and finisher.

This collaboration is not the first time Destiny 2 has partnered with other popular franchises. In the past, the game has seen collaborations with Fortnite, Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, and The Witcher, among others. Heresy Act I, which marks the third episode in Destiny 2, is also the final epilogue of the Light and Darkness saga.

The inclusion of Star Wars-themed items is likely to excite fans of both franchises, offering a unique opportunity to combine the gameplay of Destiny 2 with the iconic characters and imagery of Star Wars. While there is no mention of lightsabers being included in this update, the new content is sure to be a welcome addition to the game.

The partnership between Bungie and LucasFilms is a significant one, demonstrating the growing trend of crossover collaborations between popular franchises. As the gaming industry continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these partnerships shape the future of gaming and entertainment.

In the meantime, fans of Destiny 2 and Star Wars can look forward to the launch of Heresy Act I on February 4, when the new Star Wars-themed items will become available. With the update just around the corner, it's clear that this is an exciting time for fans of both franchises.
