We'll admit, it's been quite some time since we wrote anything genuinely positive about Destiny 2, but we're willing to give it up for this newly revealed crossover. Bungie's teamed with CD Projekt Red to craft some really cool looking cosmetics based on The Witcher 3, which decks out Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters in armour that resembles Geralt's various Witcher gear sets.
The obvious catch is that these cosmetics will probably be sold to you for a small fortune through Destiny 2's microtransaction store. The press release clarifies that you'll be able to get "armor ornaments, a Ghost shell, ship, Sparrow, emote, and finisher".
The Witcher-inspired stuff will be available when the game's next season, Season of the Wish, goes live on the 28th November.
Are you still playing Destiny 2? Might you be jumping back in for the upcoming season, or maybe even these cosmetics? Complain about portals in the comments section below.

These crossover sets are pretty bad. The PS crossover was the worst, but outside of the Titan, id have no idea it was Witcher themed.
Plus they're 20$ a costume. At least in COD you can get something that ACTUALLY looks like Lara Croft lol.
@Stragen8 Not to mention the other thing which is Bungie falling apart and messing up everything in Destiny.
Seems a wee bit late, no? What nearly 9 year old game will they collab with next you think?
Still would never touch this game.
Dig it! Very reminiscent of the armor sets from the D1 Rise of Iron DLC. I like the Destiny aesthetic much more when they lean into the fantasy/medieval aspects. Destiny always struck me more as a fantasy game set in the future, rather than a sci-fi game. Haven't played Destiny in a few years, so they won't be seeing any money from me, but always happy to see Witcher stuff!
I'm certain they get a lot more players if they drop the prices for costumes this cant be called microtransactions anymore.
Really? People are still playing this pile o' trash? And a collab w/ a game that old...Geez, just stamp it as MONEY GRAB....
So £40 for the expansion another £40 for the annual pass then £20 for a costume. And they were supposed to be advising Sony gaas scheme. The worse monetisation developer in the business.
Andrej Sapkowski recently said that as Netflix decided to "adapt" random bits of his stories, he is being forced to write even more, but he's okay with the constant need for Netflix to butcher/use his IP for spin offs because "it pays the rent" 🤣🤣
But I think at this rate everything everywhere is going to be Witcher themed by 2026 and he will probably be living in more than one castle.
CDPR milk the license for merch and collectibles based on their games, and now these game collabs, Dark Horse make a bunch of Comics, Netflix does whatever it is Netflix does with successful IP's, Asda even sell cheap ass licensed Netflix Witcher gear ffs 😅 (that's literally licensing a license from a company that licensed it)
When something moves the needle, people just want a piece.
I can't wait for the all new film loosely based on the Asda Witcher "Christmas Jumper", based on the Netflix show, based on the book, popularised by the game. And I hope I can get an NFT based on that in a completely unrelated game too 🫠🫠🫠
I love the look of those.
I enjoyed Destiny, but never got into Destiny 2. Bungie hits the monetization way too hard, releasing add-ons at full-release prices way too frequently, and even retiring content people paid for. I'm likely to avoid anything from Bungie until I'm sure they're not doing the same thing now that Sony owns them.
So clearly there's no way I'm getting cosmetic items for a game I don't play...but they look great!
