Destiny 2 Heresy will feature a Star Wars collaboration

Bungie has partnered with Lucasfilm Games to bring Star Wars-themed gear and accessories to Destiny 2.

It will include three new armor ornaments (one for each Guardian class) “each inspired by the soldiers of the Galactic Empire”, plus a number of Star Wars-inspired accessories, emotes and finishers.

The Star Wars content will launch on February 4 alongside Destiny 2: Heresy, the game’s third Episode and the final epilogue of the Light and Darkness Saga.

The Star Wars collaboration was announced on Tuesday during a livestream which can be rewatched below. It offered a detailed look at what’s in store for players in Heresy, which will feature the return of the Dreadnaught and a new activity called The Nether.

“With a combination of area patrols, multiple bubbles full of challenging enemies, each culminating in heroic boss fights, and all set in the haunted corridors of a metamorphosed Dreadnaught, The Nether activity will find Guardians besieging the sprawling ship to disable its weaponry and prevent the Taken corruption from spreading,” said Bungie editorial lead Brian Ekberg.

“With lessons learned from previous rogue-lite experiments in Destiny 2 such as The Coil from Season of the Wish and Deep Dives from Season of the Deep, Guardians can also look forward to a constantly varied experience. For example, after completing a bubble, the Power level of enemies increase. In addition, the activity introduces a new twist to the combat formula in the form of boons that directly affect gameplay.”

Bungie marked the franchise’s 10th anniversary last September by announcing that Destiny 2 will adopt a new release model.

Instead of one large annual expansion, the studio said it will aim to release two medium-sized expansions and four major free content updates every year.

The new model will start this summer of 2025 with the release of “nonlinear character-driven adventure” Codename Apollo.
