Watch: Upcoming Destiny 2 Expansion Features Star Wars Themes and Iconic Elements

Bungie is infusing Star Wars nostalgia into the next Destiny 2 expansion with familiar elements like Sarlacc pits and lightsabers.

Bungie is set to revitalize its struggling looter shooter, Destiny 2, with its upcoming expansion, Renegades, launching on December 2. The Star Wars-inspired content brings exciting new features including:

  • A Sarlacc pit and AT-ST walkers: Players will encounter these iconic elements reminiscent of the Star Wars universe.
  • New Cabal faction: Introducing the Barant Imperium, a group that appears to be hoarding weapons on Mars, dressed similarly to Stormtroopers.
  • Gameplay mechanics: Players can choose missions involving bounty hunts, smuggling, and sabotage.

In the latest ViDoc presentation, Bungie displayed several classic Star Wars-inspired visuals and gameplay mechanics, including craftable weapons like the Praxic Blade, which is designed as a lightsaber equivalent in the game. Expect Star Wars-style blasters that use a heat management system instead of traditional reloading.
