Believe it or not, Sony has decided that it’s a good idea to mix two completely different and unrelated universes. One is Destiny 2, one of the most successful service games of the last decade, and the other is Ghostbusters.
As explained on Twitter, “the collection of game objects inspired by Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire will include a guardian ghost Slimer, a new Sparrow inspired by Garraka, and a themed Ecto-1 ship”. Garraka, for those who don’t know, is the villain of the upcoming Ghostbusters movie, Frozen Empire.
Anyone who gets the set or the individual pieces will also be able to get the “Slimer Ghost Shell Paper Mask from Bungie Rewards” for free. Although there are no photos of this.
Don’t ask why, accept it
It is worth noting the absence of any new armor, which is usually the centerpiece of these crossovers. It’s a bit disappointing, because after years of donning increasingly complex high-tech armors, it would have been fun to zip up a simple jumpsuit.
Perhaps it is not thematically appropriate, but frankly I think that ship has already sailed. There is also no kind of ghostly shader, which could have been tempting, especially since players have been asking for one from Taken forever.
The price of this collaboration has not been revealed yet, but its release date has. It will start on March 19, three days before the premiere of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire in theaters.
This also explains why this crossover happens: Sony distributes the movie and Sony owns Bungie.
