Why the Destiny 2 and Fortnite collab makes perfect sense for Bungie

digitaltrends.com:

Destiny 2 is collaborating with the Epic Games Store, including swapping some cosmetics with Fortnite and Fall Guys. This announcement leaked ahead of Bungie’s Destiny 2 showcase on Tuesday, and the community reaction was mixed. After all, Destiny 2, Fortnite, and Fall Guys aren’t similar games at all. But after seeing the collaborations in action, they make perfect sense. Destiny 2has seen a lot of changes over the past year, and although it’s still a far cry from Fortnite or Fall Guys, trading cosmetics fits right into where Bungie, Epic Games, and Sony are heading.

The new skins come on the heels of Destiny 2 launching on the Epic Games Store, where Bungie is offering its 30th Anniversary content pack for free for the first week. Bungie says the collaboration is a celebration of the new launch, with three new skins each in Fortnite, Destiny 2, and on September 13, Fall Guys. Nothing is changing with any of these games; they’re just adding new cosmetics. Still, the community isn’t taking it that way. The friction with the Fortnite and Destiny 2 collaboration centers around how different the games are. The only common thread they share is that they’re both multiplayer shooters, but even then, the games are so different in style and structure that they can’t be compared.

That is why aspects of Fortnite coming into Destiny 2’s world is a shock. We’ve seen skins from games like Borderlands show up in Fortnite, but that collaboration usually doesn’t go the other way. Fortnite is known for bringing skins from other media in, including skins from everything from The Avengers to Dragon Ball Z. Still, we’ve never seen a Piñata Llama alongside Iron Man in Iron Man VR or the Battle Bus dropping Goku out in Dragon Ball FighterZ,
