[Discussion] Ghostbusters Meets Destiny 2: Gear Up for a Supernatural Crossover

[Uncrowned Guard]

A Spooky Crossover Event

Destiny 2 is setting the stage for an exciting crossover with the Ghostbusters universe, introducing themed cosmetics that will thrill fans of both franchises. As the gaming world anticipates the release of the "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" movie, players of Bungie's popular game will get the chance to immerse themselves in the ghost-hunting adventure. Starting March 19, three days before the film's debut, Destiny 2 will feature a Guardian ship modeled after the iconic Ecto-1 car, a Ghost shell resembling the beloved Slimer, and a Sparrow inspired by the film's main antagonist.

Anticipating the Cost

While Bungie has yet to disclose the exact price for these Ghostbusters-themed items, historical data from previous collaborations provides some insight. Players can expect the bundle to be priced between 2200 Silver (roughly $20) and 2800 Silver (approximately $30), depending on the contents and potential sales. This pricing strategy aligns with Bungie's approach to past packs, such as those inspired by "The Witcher" and other popular franchises.

Unique Among Crossovers

The Ghostbusters crossover distinguishes itself from previous Destiny 2 collaborations by drawing inspiration from a movie rather than another video game, setting it apart from the likes of Kratos from "God of War" or elements from "Assassin’s Creed" and "The Witcher." Notably, this collaboration will not include Ghostbuster armor sets, focusing instead on the two vehicles and the Ghost shell. This decision may leave some players longing for a full Proton Pack or Venkman jumpsuit experience, but it still promises to add a fun, thematic layer to the game's expansive universe.

As Destiny 2 continues to explore pop culture crossovers, the addition of Ghostbusters-themed cosmetics enriches the game's world with a playful nod to the upcoming film, blending the excitement of ghost hunting with the thrill of interstellar adventure.
