After the announcement that Bungie would have to delay the release of Destiny 2’s The Witch Queen expansion to February of next year, many players started to wonder if they would get an extra Season after Season 15 or not. Bungie announced Season of the Lost as the final Season before The Witch Queen, and it makes sense because its storyline is setting up Savathun’s schemes to gain the powers of the Light. Players worried that Season 15 would last for a total of six months without anything else to do at some point, but that’s when the 30th Anniversary Pack came to the rescue.
Starting next Tuesday, Destiny 2 players will gain access to the DLC’s contents, which include a new Dungeon, a 6-player activity called “Dares of Eternity,” and a plethora of guns and cosmetic items to celebrate Bungie’s 30th anniversary. The loot includes items inspired by Bungie’s past, as the Steam page officially states now, and there is a strong belief within the community that players will get a surprise Halo crossover event.
After its separation from Microsoft, Bungie lost its rights to the Halo franchise, which means that it’s unlikely that a full Halo crossover is happening, even though it’s not impossible that Halo-inspired gear could come to Destiny 2. However, fans have been spotting strange weapons on the back of the characters depicted in the Dares of Eternity promotional image namely, Halo 2’s Battle Rifle, and a purple rifle that could be a Covenant Carbine Rifle or Beam Rifle. Rumors of a Halo crossover for Destiny 2 started circulating after leaks from months ago, but the information might have been outdated or incorrect, so there is no guarantee this will be the case.
The possibility is there, though, because Bungie did reveal one of the ornament sets coming to Destiny 2 a few months ago, and there is clearly an inspiration to Halo with the Titan’s Needler shoulder pad and the Warlock’s Arbiter-like set and Halo ring bond. Furthermore, while Bungie stated that some of the items will be inspired by its past, it’s worth noting that the Claymore from Myth is exactly that, and so seems to be the Shotgun from Marathon.
With Halo Infinite officially launching a day after Destiny 2’s 30th Anniversary Pack, it might as well be a perfect occasion to launch a crossover event. Such an event would be great for both fandoms, considering that Destiny 2 and Halo are among the best shooters on the market, and it would be perfect to celebrate Bungie’s big milestone.
Destiny 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
