Bungie disappoints its fans with an upcoming Star Wars expansion

Bungie has made a significant announcement regarding Destiny 2, generating discussion in the player community. The developer has revealed plans for new expansions and updates, highlighting an unusual collaboration with the Star Wars universe. The upcoming expansion, titled ‘Renegades’, will be completely inspired by this iconic universe, including iconic elements such as lightsabers and planets that evoke places like Tatooine.

Those who pre-order the Ultimate edition of Destiny 2 will receive several digital rewards in return, including skins of recognizable characters from Star Wars, such as Darth Vader and Kylo Ren. This move has generated mixed feelings among fans, some of whom are excited, while others express their displeasure at the merging of two fictional universes they consider incompatible. Comparisons have arisen in the realm of pop culture, likening these crossovers to fusion cuisine, suggesting that while they are possible, they are not always desirable.

The announcement has sparked controversy over the integrity of the Destiny universe and Bungie’s creativity. The community has reservations about how this collaboration will affect the perception of the game, which has been marked by a rich lore and a distinctive aesthetic since its launch. Some players have already compared this strategy to a “Fortnitification” of service games, where monetization and collaborations with external brands seem to be taking precedence over the original gaming experience.

As fans awaited content more related to the Destiny universe, the focus on Star Wars has led many to question whether this is a solution to attract more players or a departure from the essence that made Destiny popular in the first place. Undoubtedly, this decision will mark a turning point in the game’s history and will be a topic of debate in the coming months.
