Destiny 2: Renegades has drawn a divided reception from critics and players alike. Several outlets highlight the expansion’s bold Star Wars aesthetic and its attempt to reshape endgame pacing, with GameSpot noting a convincing Star Wars-flavored addition that still feels true to Destiny in hands-on coverage, and Polygon describing Renegades as Star Wars-inspired yet unmistakably Destiny, complete with themed cosmetics for the Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition. Still, questions linger about whether the price and scale justify the purchase, a sentiment echoed by coverage of the broader market response and the series’ ongoing content cadence. You can see the broader take in coverage that frames Renegades as ambitious but potentially overvalued for what it delivers at launch. GameSpot preview Polygon coverage .

Q.Are there any Star Wars inspired elements or crossovers in Destiny 2?

A.Yes—Destiny 2 has Star Wars-inspired elements, first via official crossovers in early 2025 and then a larger Star Wars–themed expansion later that year. Lucasfilm collaboration has brought armor, cosmetics, and weapons that nod to Star Wars, but it’s not a full canonical crossover; it’s Star Wars aesthetics woven into Destiny’s world.
