Sony's Bungie Buyout Puts PS5, PS4 Themed Items in the Destiny 2 Store

Available on all platforms

Here's an example of something that probably wouldn't have happened without Sony spending $3.6 billion on Destiny 2 developer Bungie: some neat, purchasable items in the Eververse Store themed around iconic PlayStation franchises. If you have ever wanted to turn your Titan, Hunter, or Warlock into Kratos from God of War, role play as Horizon's Aloy, or take Jin Sakai from the Ghost of Tsushima universe to space, then now's your chance.

As revealed in the image below, new armour sets are on their way to the Destiny 2 in-game store from tomorrow, just as Season of the Deep begins. Titans can don the iconic red markings of Kratos, Hunters get Aloy's skirt, and Warlocks are treated to some samurai armour. You can even customise your Ghost like it's been pulled out of The Last of Us.

Obviously, you should expect these armour sets to be a bit pricy given the game's free-to-play nature. What's even more interesting is they're not exclusive to PS5 and PS4 — Xbox and PC users can dress themselves up as PlayStation icons too. Now we just need Zelda's tunic in the game as well as Master Chief's helmet to complete a varied set.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

Really an odd choice to make Horizon the Hunter but not the Ghost of Tsushima. You know the onr that throws smoke bombs, throws kunai, and is stealthy?.....

Bungie's art team is top-notch. If these can be bought with bright dust (in-game currency), I'll buy at least one of them.

@Nepp67 Probably because the Hunter class is known for using a bow so it more fits with Horizon.

As is always the case, the Warlocks get shafted with the worst armour set. I picked well back in 2014 👍

@AdamNovice And Hunter is known for using smoke bombs, throwing knives, and being invisible which is Ghost of Tsushima's entire thing.

@Nepp67 I think it’s odd that the sets are limited to character class. There should be a version for each outfit for each character. Easy way for even more money.

Warlock looks good. The other two are trash

@Nepp67 I don't think it comes down to the weapon they use... But what aligns best with the culture of the Samurai. Warlock in destiny fit more with the culture of the Samurai than a Titan or Hunter would. It similar to how to Ghost being a Cordyceps from Last of Us make sense due to when Ghost revives their Chosen, they are bonded together from that point forward. A "neural symbiosis" begins between them.
