- "The line between light and dark is so very thin. Do you know which side you're on?"
- ―A popular Destiny 2 tagline spoken by the antagonist of the game's "Forsaken" expansion, Uldren Sov
Destiny 2 is a free-to-play MMO FPS, created[1] and currently published by video game development company, Bungie,[2] which launched on February 6, 2017.[3] The first Destiny 2 x Star Wars collaboration was announced on January 28, 2025, which would begin following week alongside the launch of Destiny 2's "Episode III: Heresy – 'Act I'" on February 4, 2025.[4]
First Collaboration & Development ‡[]
- "Now it's time to take a first look at the newest collaboration that's going to be coming to Destiny 2, and this one is joining us from a galaxy far, far away. […] Our next collaboration is inspired by a universe that's loved by so many of us at the studio, Star Wars."
- ―Bungie senior social media manager, Andy Salisbury, announcing the Destiny 2 x Star Wars collaboration during the Destiny 2: Heresy Act I Developer Livestream

All 3 ornament sets for Destiny 2.
This collab between Bungie and Lucasfilm Games brings with it a number of "Imperial-themed" cosmetics, including three armor ornament sets, one for each in-game character class, those being the "Shock Enforcer Armor," a Stormtrooper-inspired set for "Titans," the "Royal Protector Armor," an Imperial Royal Guard-inspired set for "Warlocks," and the "Covert Ranger Armor," a Death trooper-inspired set for "Hunters." The promotion also features the "DS-2 Shell," a DS-2 Death Star II Mobile Battle Station-inspired "Ghost Shell," as well as the "Advanced Prototype Jumpship," a TIE Advanced x1-inspired "Ship," the "Repulsorlift Jumpspeeder," a 74-Z speeder bike-inspired "Sparrow," the "Unlimited Power," "Paracausal Pitch," and "Riot Control" Finishers, and the "Remote Training Session," "Infantry Practice," and "Fated Duel" Emotes, all available for purchase via the game's "Silver" digital currency.[4]
Each of these items could be purchased individually, however, the armor ornaments were also listed together in the in-game store as the "Galactic Imperial Set," the equipment could be purchased as a bundle referred to as the "Galactic Imperial Set," and the finishers and emotes were distributed as the "Interstellar Warfare Finishers Bundle" and "Interstellar Warfare Emotes Bundle" respectively.[8]

The first "Equipment" cosmetic shown off for the collab, the "DS-2 Shell."
The key art used to reveal the Destiny 2 x Star Wars collaboration was created by the animator "Drexis Animations."[9] Video editor Zackery Brown also revealed that working on the aforementioned collab was his final project as Bungie Capture Team Leader.[10] Both Anthony Huls, a freelance gameplay capture artist,[11] and Bungie social media manager Mitch Alpiner,[12] also contributed to the collaboration in some capacity, the former helping in the capture and creation of promotional material,[11] and the latter devising the official announcement posts for both Bungie and Lucasfilm Games.[12]
Dark Side Legends & Clandestine Cargo ‡[]

The "Dark Side Legends Bundle" as part of the pre-order bonus for the "Destiny 2: Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition"
On May 6, 2025, a Destiny 2 developer livestream was held to promote the upcoming "Year of Prophecy," the first chapter in the game's "The Fate Saga," where the pre-order bonuses[13] for the game's "Destiny 2: Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition" were revealed, showcasing three new sets of in-game armor ornaments designated the "Dark Side Legends Bundle" inspired by iconic Star Wars villains. This included the "Obsidian Durasteel Set" inspired by Darth Vader, the "Cyborg Nemesis Set" inspired by General Grievous, and the "Marauder Progeny Set" inspired by Kylo Ren.[14] These cosmetics were made available the day of the stream, making them some of the final in-game items to be introduced in Destiny's final piece of "Year 10" content, "Episode III: Heresy – 'Act III'".[13] The moment the pre-order bonuses became available, a bundle of in-game cosmetics titled the "Clandestine Cargo Set" was also made available for purchase with "Silver." This set included the "Inferno Shell," a Dio the Inferno Squad ID10 seeker droid-inspired "Ghost Shell," the "Silent Vendetta," a TIE vendetta space superiority fighter aka TIE silencer-inspired "Ship," the "Crescent Infiltrator," a FC-20 speeder bike Bloodfin-inspired "Sparrow."[8]
Destiny 2: Renegades ‡[]
- "It is an essential 'Fate Saga' story, and it's an homage to a universe that has inspired Bungie from the start. It's a universe that all of us on the couch grew up with as well as everyone else at the studio and millions of you back at home too. […] It is a peanut butter and chocolate combination inside of what we're making that could only be possible in the kind of world that we build here. And so I am absolutely thrilled to be able to give our first sneak peak at 'Destiny 2: Renegades.'"
- ―Destiny narrative director, Alison Lührs, announcing the Star Wars-inspired expansion Destiny 2: Renegades" during the Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate Reveal Event

Key art for the Destiny 2 expansion "Renegades"
During the May 6 reveal livestream, Destiny narrative director, Alison Lührs, showcased a teaser for the second expansion of the "The Fate Saga," previously titled "Codename: Behemoth" but now confirmed to be entitled "Destiny 2: Renegades." "Renegades" will be an entirely Star Wars-themed expansion, taking many cues from the galaxy far, far away, including OST, sound effects, story, and setting, taking place partially within a Tatooine-inspired location described as a "lawless frontier," with a narrative described as being very "space western," but still with a distinctly Destiny-centric story.[13]
This collaboration will also include more Star Wars-inspired in-game items, including lightsaber "Swords" with customizable blade colors, as well as a "Hand Cannon" inspired by Han Solo's modified DL-44 heavy blaster pistol. More of this content and collaboration has been slated to be revealed in "Renegade's" own dedicated stream set to air in September 9 of 2025,[13] with the expansion officially set to released on December 2 of that same year.[15] The expansion will also be accompanied by a form of seasonal content currently titled "Shadow and Order."[13] Keeper of the Holocron Leland Chee cryptically teased the scope of the collaboration on the official Wookieepedia Discord with the humorous message "<maniacal laugh>."[16]
