Destiny 2 Embraces Star Wars Vibes in New Renegades DLC

Sure thing, here’s a quirky human-style retelling for you:

So, picture this. Destiny games, you know, the ones with all those spiffy laser swords and crazy hover bikes? Yeah, they’ve always kinda flirted with that Star Wars vibe. But now? Destiny 2 is going all-out Star Wars, like for real, later this year. Some expansion thingy called Renegades. It’s got lightsabers and, believe it or not, Darth freaking Vader. Can you imagine?

Bungie, the brains behind Destiny, spilled the beans about this Renegades thing on Tuesday. It’s dropping December 2—mark your calendars or just forget like I do sometimes. They did this livestream for, uh, Year of Prophecy or something like that, and there it was. The teaser’s basically screaming Star Wars, right? Han Solo’s blaster—yes please! And a green lightsaber? Sign me up. Anyway, they’re also throwing in some Dark Side vibes with skins. You get to be a Hunter, Titan, or Warlock à la General Grievous, Vader, or Kylo Ren if that’s your thing. They’re part of the Destiny 2: Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition. Quite the mouthful. Oh, and don’t forget this other part called The Edge of Fate comes out in July.

Now, details on Renegades? Uh, kinda secretive. But, the teaser showed these Guardians whizzing through a desert. Seriously, does that not scream Tatooine? Apparently, it’s gonna be set in, yes, the Star Wars universe. Sure, you’ll get skins for your Guardians, but also expect some jazzed-up sparrows and other fun stuff. Can you even imagine a Marksman-H combat remote for your Ghost later this year? If that’s not a thing, well, someone dropped the ball.

Oh, by the way, Destiny 2 and Star Wars had a little fling back in February. There were these Guardian cosmetics inspired by Stormtroopers and Death Troopers. Totally cool stuff. Now, the Renegades and that Edge of Fate thing will be out this year for PlayStation, PC, Xbox—you name it. Are you as hyped as I am, or is it just me?
