This week, Bungie properly unveiled the new Destiny 2: Renegades expansion that's launching on December 2nd, and it's now officially available to pre-order on the Xbox Store at a price of £34.99 / $39.99.
Interestingly, Destiny 2: Renegades is inspired by Star Wars, featuring "themes and elements drawn from the iconic sci-fi franchise". There are Star Wars-inspired weapons (including lightsabers), vehicles, maps, and much more.
"Inspired by the legendary Star Wars™ galaxy, Renegades merges Destiny’s distinctive storytelling and gameplay with themes and elements drawn from the iconic sci-fi franchise."
However, they clearly don't want to lean too much into the Star Wars flavour with this one, so Renegades still has a distinctly Destiny feel, and even a lot of the marketing material doesn't focus on the Star Wars aspect very much at all.
It's going to be interesting to see how Destiny 2: Renegades fares when it releases in December, and we'll throw more details and screenshots down below so you can get an idea of what to expect. There's also a new ViDoc up above.
But yeah... how are you feeling about this right now? Any interest? Tell us in the comments down below.
"Following the events of The Edge of Fate, players will defy the Vanguard to pursue Drifter across Sol, navigating a world of shadows and syndicates in the new social hub, Tharsis Outpost, as they work across story missions to build a crew and resist a rising faction tied to the Nine.
At the heart of Renegades is the Lawless Frontier, a chaotic, cooperative new game mode, where players take on a variety of high-risk jobs and contracts to earn reputation, unlock all-new Renegade abilities that change the tide of battle, and wield weapons that include the iconic Praxic Blade and an energy-based arsenal from the new Blaster archetype. Beyond this frontier, players will venture off-planet to face unique challenges in a new dungeon launching shortly after release."
