During the roughly eight-year history of Destiny and Destiny 2, it has become somewhat of the norm for leaks to get out ahead of major reveals and game updates to either tease or outright spoil Bungie's newest content. It appears to be no different ahead of the next Destiny 2 reveal event set to air on August 23, which most of the game's community believes will give them a first look at the next expansion. However, one of these many leaks isn't about the game's next expansion, but instead an upcoming crossover event with Fortnite and the new armor guardians will be able to get their hands on.
The leak appeared on Twitter from user Ginsor, a well-known leaker within the Destiny community who has previously reported accurate information about previous seasons and expansions. They posted an image of the armor sets coming to Destiny 2 as part of the Fortnite crossover, with one set going to each player class and being based on notable Fortnite skins. Titans appear to be getting a Black Knight-inspired set, Warlocks' new armor will be based on the Drift skin, and an Omega-inspired armor set for Hunters.
Ginsor's leak is one of multiple leaks to drop on social media teasing both the upcoming Season 18 and Destiny 2's next expansion, Lightfall, with many coming from Twitter user Josh Hunt. Leaks for Season 18 suggest it will be titled Season of the Plunder and center on the long-teased return of Eramis, King's Fall being reprised, and the overall season being pirate-themed. As for Lightfall, leaks suggest the expansion will see guardians battle Calus, travel to Neptune in search of an artifact The Witness desires, a new allied race, and the next subclass being named Strand.
As it relates to Ginsor's leak, though, it is significant in its own right, as it marks Destiny 2's first major crossover with another, non-Bungie game franchise. Fortnite has been one of, if not, the biggest game in the world for the better part of five years and features crossover content with some of the biggest entertainment properties, including Star Wars and Marvel. Given the new armor sets coming to Destiny 2, it won't be surprising to see Epic Games reveal new Destiny-inspired skins for Fortnite in the near future.
The various leaks also suggest the Fortnite crossover isn't the only one Bungie has secured for Destiny 2, either. Additional leaks say there may be a crossover event with Fall Guys in the very near future, though no additional information has been released at the time of this writing.
Destiny 2 is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
