The Mandalorian, Boba Fett, and Bo-Katan Are Coming to Destiny 2 — Renegades Expansion OUT NOW

Soeren Kamper other games

The internet has been buzzing with rumors that The Mandalorian, Boba Fett, and Bo-Katan were coming to Destiny 2 as part of the new Renegades expansion. The idea exploded fast — social media threads, fan photoshops, and “leaks” popped up everywhere.

But after digging through official developer statements and the full preview coverage, here’s the truth:

Renegades is absolutely Star Wars–inspired…
…but The Mandalorian, Boba Fett, and Bo-Katan are NOT joining Destiny 2.

No cross-universe characters. No official skins. No Lucasfilm collaboration.

What Bungie has created is something different — and honestly, still pretty exciting.

A Star Wars Vibe, Without an Actual Star Wars Crossover

Renegades is shaping up to be one of the most stylistically bold expansions Destiny has seen in years. Bungie has openly described it as having a space-western energy, with weapons, armor silhouettes, faction themes, and world design that evoke the feel of a galaxy where outlaws and renegades thrive.

And yes — the Star Wars influence is obvious in:

  • Blaster-inspired weapon archetypes
  • Praxic Blades and energy sidearms
  • Space-western clothing and armor motifs
  • A “lawless frontier” tone straight out of The Outer Rim
  • Environments and lighting that feel like a blend of sci-fi and frontier grit

But these are influences, not collaborations.
Think Mandalorian flavor — not Mandalorian characters.

So Where Did the Mandalorian Rumors Come From?

A perfect storm of fan speculation:

  • Early previews described Renegades as “Star Wars–inspired”
  • Some armor sets share broad design DNA with Mandalorian-style silhouettes
  • Destiny players love crossovers — Fortnite, Halo, and Assassin’s Creed all hit big
  • A few convincing fan mockups circulated online
  • The frontier-outlaw aesthetic made the crossover feel plausible

But none of that equals actual collaboration.
Destiny 2 and Star Wars remain separate worlds.

What Renegades Actually Brings to Destiny 2

Even without official Star Wars characters, Renegades is still stacked:

New Weapon Archetypes

Energy blasters, frontier-style rifles, and new melee options that look tailor-made for gunslingers.

The Lawless Frontier

A new open-ended activity space where players deal with outlaws, factions, and unpredictable encounters.

New Factions and Enemies

Groups with a rugged, scavenger-heavy aesthetic that fits the expansion’s “outer rim” tone.

New Armor Sets

Heavily stylized frontier gear that hits the sweet spot between sci-fi and grungy western.

Frontier Storytelling

A story focused on survival, makeshift alliances, and power struggles at the edge of civilization.

It’s not a crossover — but it is a bold identity shift for Destiny 2.

Why the Star Wars Influence Actually Works

Destiny has always lived at the intersection of sci-fi and fantasy, but the Renegades direction feels especially cohesive:

  • It leans into space-western archetypes
  • It introduces grounded, blaster-like combat fantasy
  • It makes Guardians feel less like space paladins and more like lone operatives
  • It pulls inspiration from some of the most successful modern sci-fi aesthetics

The result?
A Destiny expansion with a cinematic edge — gritty, adventurous, and visually striking — without needing a licensed crossover.

Final Thoughts

So no — you won’t be fighting Cabal in a Din Djarin helmet or jetpacking across the Crucible as Bo-Katan. But what Destiny 2 is offering with Renegades might actually be better:

A full thematic shift.
A new combat identity.
A frontier fantasy that just happens to feel a little Star Wars, a little Firefly, and very, very Destiny.

Renegades isn’t about bringing Mandalorians into Destiny.
It’s about giving Destiny players that same outlaw energy — on its own terms.
