Is this Destiny or Disney?
Is anyone else completely turned off by this Star Wars crossover?
I don’t know about you all, but I find the idea of building a whole DLC around a Star Wars sponsorship incredibly disappointing. I’m here to play Destiny not participate in a Disney themed event. Crossovers are one thing when they’re limited to cosmetics or small events, but centering an expansion around another franchise feels like the game is slowly losing its identity.
It’s starting to feel like Destiny is taking a page from Fortnite whoever pays enough gets to shape the game’s direction. And that’s not what made this universe special in the first place. We’ve got decades of rich lore, original characters, and complex storylines. Why are we sidelining all that for another company’s IP?
This just seems like a strange move, and to me, it cheapens the experience. Curious to hear what others think are you excited about this Star Wars content, or do you feel like it’s a step in the wrong direction?

For me, it’s not that I’m turned off by the fact it Star Wars. I like Star Wars. It’s that I don’t want the expansions to become gimmicky cash grabs. I don’t want Season of the Plunder to become an expansion. In 2026’s expansion pack I don’t want a Robocop themed expansion where the guardians are in old town Detroit fighting OCP factions. When I play Destiny it’s because I want to play in the Destiny universe and enjoy Destiny stories.

8 RepliesIt kills me that they want to bring back the sense of mystery. That’s what I want. Yet I’m running around next to Blanka, an AC assassin, and a storm trooper. Star Wars is iconic but the idea of mystery returning is lost when you theme it around the most familiar thing ever.

2 RepliesIm not big on it, I like star wars as much as anyone but destiny already has proven that it has the ability to create a fantastic and totally original universe on its own at its best points, they dont need any creative inspiration from star wars. They can say its inspiration all they want but to me it screams bungie and disney putting their heads together to see how much cash they can sap. The make or break for me will be how much it sticks to the destiny identity. If its genuinely just a space western DLC thats cool but overt star wars references will get old QUICK.

They should end the game. The only reason they don’t is for the cash grabs. Pathetic company.

1 ReplyMoney grab, it's that simple. All the talent left, now they're just doing whatever they can.
-
I absolutely f*cking hate this.
-
The only think about money. How can we get more money out off this game.. I lost it a long time ago. Waste of money. Every DLC is more or less the same. Prob. get banned again :)

1 ReplyMy problem with this is that it pulls me out of the world. It's like seeing a Cylon Raider in The Expanse. When I'm absorbed in a strike or such, seeing a Stormtrooper jus breaks the immersion. I think I'll be putting the game down very soon. New expansions will cost more money for less content? And lean heavily on cosmetic crossover? Each to their own & I hope pll enjoy what comes next, but I don't think I'll be here for it.

2 RepliesIt makes me sick to see this game turn into an IP-rental crossover platform. Even Skyrim mods with Thomas the Tank Engine look more down-to-earth than Renegade.

Yall are tripping for no reason. Renegades isn't actually about Star Wars or anything in it. The Lightsaber sound and the weapon and environmental aesthetic pays homage to Star Wars. The saga is still about the Nine. -
1 ReplyIm convinced this is a Sony play. Sony has huge deals with Disney and no shot Bungie would do this unprompted

Don't forget the morphball Samus is not impressed 🤷♂️

2 RepliesI could deal with an Eververse armor set, as kind of a "haha, good one. get it? because space wizards", but this feels even more corporate and soulless that I previously thought possible. God bless dude....

It was one thing to have a little Star Wars cross over a while back with just some skins, but now we get even more skins randomly AND an entire expansion solely inspired or dedicated to Star Wars?? Can we chill out with the Star Wars stuff?? Not a fan of this and I’m not a fan of Star Wars either
-
I love the Wild West new frontier feel. But if it ends up just lazily inserting Star Wars stuff into the game then I will dislike it.
-
Bungie: we want to bring mystery back to Destiny Also Bungie: *themes an entire expansion around the most familiar IP on the planet Star Wars is iconic, sure. This just feels silly though.

7 RepliesNo, nobody else is turned off. It’s a great idea. I like the fact that they are trying out new ways of storytelling.

2 Replies[quote]Why are we sidelining all that for another company’s IP?[/quote] Because [i]Destiny 2[/i] is dying rapidly. Because the OG Devs who were passionate about this franchise & it's growth have been replaced by DEI Suits. Because player retention is non-existent. Because [b]MONEY[/b].

Its fkn stupid it is becoming more like Disney. I hate it wont be playing it they have let the normal player base down going for the new liberal yahoo player I suppose.

3 RepliesIt’s not a crossover. They specifically stated that this is a destiny story. They are just heavily leaning into the aesthetic inspiration of Star Wars. We are not playing a Star Wars story. We are playing a destiny story. They were very clear about this in the preview.

1 ReplyEdited by JD: 5/7/2025 7:30:26 AMNo it’s -blam!- awesome. Star Wars was literally the inspiration for Destiny. The story for renegades is a Destiny story not Star Wars. It just has a Star Wars visual theme. You act like Yoda is going to be guiding us lmao.

2 RepliesI don’t think it’s going to be “we’re in Star Wars now” It looked like we’re chasing Cabal. Likely trying to break the Cabal Conclave’s hold on a frontier area. Star Wars inspired not directly Star Wars - similar to what we got with Halo in Into the Light. Let’s also not forget that Space Cowboy was the original theme for D1 and was the main theme for 2/3rds of Forsaken. Star Wars is the king of the genera
