If you’ve ever felt that your Destiny 2 experience was just a breath away from ultimate Star Wars awesomeness, brace yourself: Renegades is arriving later this year, and it’s not your casual nod to the franchise—it’s a full-blown Lucasfilm-approved extravaganza. Imagine shrugging off your regular Guardian threads to wield Han Solo’s blaster or even a green lightsaber in battle. Yep, you read that right, Lightsabers are coming to Destiny 2, and with them, a host of surprises that’ll have you feeling like you’re right in the heart of a galaxy far, far away.
Expansion Launch and Teaser Buzz Bungie unveiled Renegades during a lively livestream for the Year of Prophecy roadmap reveal, and the teaser is already making waves. Set for release on December 2, Renegades isn’t just about cool weapons and flashy lightsabers—it seems the expansion might also take you on a ride through a desert world that’s got serious Tatooine vibes. Picture your Guardian racing through endless sands with the twin exhilaration of strategic combat and that unmistakable Star Wars aesthetic. It’s like Destiny 2 is dipping its toe into the sand and boldly declaring, “Yes, we’re chief Jedi now.”
Dark Side Swag and Ultimate Edition Goodies What’s a Star Wars collab without some killer character skins? Bungie’s teasing a trio of Dark Side looks for Destiny 2’s classic classes—Hunter, Titan, and Warlock—each inspired by the likes of General Grievous, Darth Vader, and Kylo Ren. For those of you who appreciate a little personality in your gameplay, this means swapping your usual armor for a style that screams epic space saga. And here’s a bonus: these skins are part of the Destiny 2: Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition, which not only includes Renegades but also brings another expansion, The Edge of Fate, to your doorstep in July. It’s like getting a two-for-one deal on cosmic thrill rides!
Cosmetic Galore: Beyond the Lightsaber While Renegades is a dream come true for Star Wars fans diving into the Destiny universe, it’s clear that Bungie isn’t stopping at just character aesthetics. Expect fresh cosmetic treats for your sparrows, and even other items might get a fun, intergalactic makeover. Picture decorating your Ghost with a Marksman-H combat remote or other themed bits and pieces—if you can’t splash out on some flashy, thematic gear later this year, then something in the space-time continuum has definitely gone wrong.
A Nod to Destiny’s Star Wars History This isn’t Destiny 2’s first flirtation with Star Wars magic. Back in February, Guardian cosmetics modeled after the Stormtrooper, Death Trooper, and Imperial Guard were introduced alongside the Heresy expansion, setting the stage for what appears to be a full-fledged Star Wars crossover with Renegades. Bungie is clearly leveling up the homage, and we can’t help but get excited as we watch our favorite space wizard game perfectly blend its own mythos with that of our most beloved galactic saga.
