Destiny 2 Embraces Star Wars Vibes with New Renegades DLC

Sure thing, here goes:

So, there I was, thinking about how Destiny is already crawling with space stuff, right? Like, laser swords and all that jazz. Kind of Star Wars-ish, if you squint. But here’s the thing. Destiny 2 is taking a head-first dive into the Star Wars pool, no holds barred. They’ve got this expansion coming up called Renegades, and, get this—it’s got the actual blessing from Lucasfilm itself. Talk about hefty. And yeah, lightsabers are in the mix. Darth Vader, too. Yup, you heard me.

Okay, so Bungie spilled the beans on this Renegades thing. It’s hitting the stores on December 2nd—mark your calendars if that’s your sort of thing. They did it all during a livestream. One of those big reveals for their Year of Prophecy roadmap. Anyway, the teaser—man, it was just swimming in Star Wars vibes. Imagine Han Solo’s blaster, that green lightsaber flashing around. Made my inner nerd go wild. Oh, and they showed off some skins too. Dark Side-inspired, no less. I’m talking General Grievous, Darth Vader—the whole shebang. They’re part of this special edition, the Destiny 2: Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition. Also, another expansion is coming in July called The Edge of Fate. Sounds pretty epic, actually.

But hey, hang on, let’s not get too lost in all that. The details on Renegades? Yeah, a bit mum’s the word, but from what I saw, it’s more than just skins, okay? The teaser had these Guardians zooming around a desert zone that screamed Tatooine to me. Like, seriously. And Bungie, they confirmed it fits right into the Star Wars universe. Mind blown? Maybe just a tad.

And beyond just Guardian skins and all, there’s gonna be stuff for your sparrows, Ghost decorations—like Marksman-H combat remotes. If that doesn’t show up, it’s like someone hit the self-destruct button on this plan, am I right?

Destiny 2’s already given us a taste, by the way. Remember back in February? They tossed in some Guardian get-ups channeling Stormtroopers, Death Troopers, Imperial Guard—goosebumps, honestly—alongside that Heresy expansion. Now, we’ve got the double whammy of Renegades and The Edge of Fate launching across all platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5—you name it. Xbox One and Series X, too. Quite the lineup for space fantasy vibes, don’t you think?
