Yes, you read that right. A Destiny 2 X Fortnite collaboration is indeed in the works, but you might be surprised by the form it takes. The usual Fortnite X whatever-franchise-is-popular-at-the-moment collaboration usually sees Batman dropping into Fortnite with various Batmobiles or Marshmellow porting his iconic get-up into the game as a purchasable skin. Not this time. This time, the benefit falls on Destiny 2. For now.

Ginsor is a dataminer of note. Their most recent datamining hijinx has revealed new content coming to Destiny 2. Before you go off pop about them adding various comical Fortnite assets into Destiny, let me finish. The results of this most recent datamining endeavour have revealed three skins coming to Destiny that actually fit the dramatically different and often more seriously regarded tone of the game. 

The three skins appeared in one of Ginsor’s recent Twitter posts. The posts seem to show a Hunter, and Titan Warlock dressed to the nines in new cosmetics that look to be inspired by Drift, the Dark Night, and Omega. These three are individual skins and may only be the start of a potentially more grandiose collaboration. 

We don’t know whether Fortnite will in-turn receive any Destiny 2-themed apparel, skins, or cosmetics, but today’s Destiny 2 showcase should definitely clear up the ensuing confusion about the scope of the potential collaboration. The showcase is also set to address the Arc 3.0 subclass update and what shape season 18 of the game will take. We should also get a little more clarity on any other plans for the franchise that have yet to be announced.

In other news, it seems that Bungie, the developers behind Destiny 2 are working on a new mobile FPS. While we doubt that any information will be released in the showcase regarding this, at least we know that there’s potentially more in the works over at Bungie HQ.

I hail from the awe-inspiring beauty of South Africa. Born and raised in Pretoria, I've always had a deep interest in local history, particularly conflicts, architecture, and our country's rich past of being a plaything for European aristocracy. 'Tis an attempt at humor. My interest in history has since translated into hours at a time researching everything from the many reasons the Titanic sank (really, it's a wonder she ever left Belfast) to why Minecraft is such a feat of human technological accomplishment. I am an avid video gamer (Sims 4 definitely counts as video gaming, I checked) and particularly enjoy playing the part of a relatively benign overlord in Minecraft. I enjoy the diverse experiences gaming offers the player. Within the space of a few hours, a player can go from having a career as an interior decorator in Sims, to training as an archer under Niruin in Skyrim. I believe video games have so much more to teach humanity about community, kindness, and loyalty, and I enjoy the opportunity to bring concepts of the like into literary pieces.
