Bungie’s most current Destiny 2 popular culture crossover is almost right here. But this moment it isn’t skins or shield collections from an additional video clip game, it’s things from a forthcoming motion picture — Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, to be specific.
On Monday, Bungie revealed on X, previously Twitter, that 3 Ghostbusters-themed cosmetics are involving Destiny 2. There’s a Guardian ship based upon the well known Ecto-1 automobile, a Ghost covering based upon the franchise business’ most identifiable ghost, Slimer, and a Sparrow that appears to take ideas from the major bad guy of Frozen Empire. All of these cosmetics are involving Destiny 2 on March 19, simply 3 days prior to Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire strikes cinemas.
As for the expense of these things, Bungie hasn’t disclosed anything yet. However, going off of previous packages, it promises this pack will certainly set you back anywhere from 2200 Silver (concerning $20) to 2800 Silver (concerning $30). Previous loads that consist of a Sparrow, ship, and Ghost covering just run 2200 Silver (typically decreased to just 1900 throughout sales), however in 2015’s pack based upon The Witcher franchise business competed 2800 (2500 for sale).
This is the most up to date in a lengthy line of aesthetic crossovers for Bungie and Destiny 2. It all began with Fortnite back in 2022. Since after that Bungie has actually included PlayStation mascots like Kratos from God of War to the game, and also things influenced by Assassin’s Creed and The Witcher. Most just recently, Guardians had the ability to get shield based upon the Mass Effect franchise business, which additionally featured a totally free ship, Sparrow, and Ghost.
The Ghostbusters crossover does appear a bit various than the various other crossovers. First, it isn’t attracting key ideas from an additional game — although The Witcher undoubtedly additionally has a prominent Netflix program. Second, there are no Ghostbuster shield establishes for gamers to buy and use. As much as Bungie has actually disclosed, this Ghostbusters cooperation just consists of both lorries and the Ghost. So any type of Guardians intending to dress with their very own Proton Pack or Venkman one-piece suit seem unfortunate.
