A surprising crossover between Destiny 2 and Assassin's Creed Valhalla will add cosmetic items to each game inspired by the other. Both titles have distinct settings and gameplay, with Bungie's sci-fi RPG shooter taking players across the reaches of space while Ubisoft's open-world action game immerses fans in the historic Viking Age. Destiny 2 and Assassin's Creed Valhalla have little in common aesthetically, but that hasn't stopped a crossover from joining the two games.As detailed by Ubisoft (via GamesRadar), an unexpected crossover between Destiny 2 and Assassin's Creed Valhalla will hit both games on December 6. A new themed character pack will add futuristic armor sets to Assassin's Creed Valhalla alongside unique swords, a sci-fi scout skin and a Destiny 2 mount skin. A new weapon pack containing four distinct weapons with unique perks will also pay homage to Destiny 2's four Guardian subclasses. Meanwhile, Destiny 2 players will be able to visit the Eververse store and purchase a ship, Sparrow, Ghost, finisher cosmetics and armor ornaments inspired by Assassin’s Creed. Both crossovers will arrive in-game on December 6.
Destiny 2 & Assassin's Creed Valhalla Are An Unusual Duo
While the Destiny 2 and Assassin's Creed Valhalla crossovers are both extensive, GamesRadar reports that only one fanbase seems happy about the collaboration. The Destiny 2 community is excited by the crossover cosmetics, particularly the new Warlock set which lets space wizards don the classic white robes of the Assassin Brotherhood. However, the Destiny 2 crossover skins coming to Assassin's Creed Valhalla risk breaking players' immersion in the game's historical Viking Age setting. Ubisoft's open-world franchise strives to deliver authentic and believable versions of its time periods, so letting Eivor travel England in high-tech Guardian armor sadly ruins the illusion.
A crossover between Destiny 2 and Assassin's Creed Valhalla is surprising, since the two games have such different settings, but neither game has been a stranger to crossovers in the past. For example, both titles have previously collaborated with the beloved battle royale shooter Fortnite. The crossover between Destiny 2 and Fortnite earlier this year was quite extensive, with the Epic Games title adding various Guardian cosmetics and a recreation of the sci-fi shooter's Crucible game mode. Meanwhile, Fortnite's Assassin's Creed crossover saw the Viking warrior Eivor join the battle royale roster as a brand-new outfit.
The worlds of Destiny 2 and Assassin's Creed Valhalla are like night and day, but an unexpected crossover will soon collide the futuristic sci-fi title with the historic Viking Age. Destiny 2 will receive various cosmetics inspired by the Assassin Brotherhood, while Assassin's Creed Valhalla will add armor sets and weapons that turn Eivor into a Guardian. Both crossover sets will drop on December 6, so fans of Destiny 2 and Assassin's Creed Valhalla will have a reason to dive into both games for this curious collaboration.
