The new collaboration combines Palladium’s sense of exploration with Destiny 2‘sintergalactic setting to deliver a collection designed for Guardians all around the round. Featuring stylistic references to in-game locations and themes, each boot seamlessly blends reality with the Destiny universe.
Two fresh new styles lead the collaboration – the Pampa Sub Zero and Pampa Europa Tactical.
The Pampa Sub Zero features a silhouette similar to Palladium’s iconic Pampa but with a futuristic update featuring Velcro® fastenings, reflective metal carabiner heel tabs and neon yellow insignia contrasting against a black leather colour base. The Pampa Sub Zero is an agile mid-rise ankle boot, developed with the cosmic Guardian in mind.
Conceived by Palladium as the daily boot to withstand the rigors of interplanetary travel, the Pampa Sub Zero will provide you with enough cover for your daily life on Earth. Its mid-top styling and easy entry straps keep you dynamic, while full insulation and Palladium’s trademark lugged sole will keep you looking intrepid.
The Pampa Europa Tactical is developed for the barren inhospitable landscape of Europa with a faux fur lining and a hi-rise above-the-ankle upper inspired by the protective boots favoured by artic explorers here on Earth. Like the Pampa Sub Zero, the Pampa Europa Tactical arrives in a muted colour palette with neon yellow coding and flight tabs. Each colourway reflects the desolate landscapes brought to life in the new Destiny expansion with moonrock grey and deep space black providing key colourways.
Inspired by the survival needs of Guardians who navigate the frozen landscape of Europa, the Pampa Europa Tactical is built for the colder climates. With hibernal missions in mind, its warm tech lining, ultra hi-cut and premium nubuck upper fearlessly defends against the most inhospitable of environments.
Each boot is presented in packaging decorated with the celestial map and radials, both key components in Destiny‘s ‘epic sci-fi action’ aesthetic.

Bus Driver Simulator will be available on Nintendo Switch as early as on November 13th. The game offers, among others, a high level of realism, buses from various countries and two faithfully reproduced cities (Cologne, Germany and Serpukhov, Russia). The version for Nintendo’s console also includes all existing DLCs known from PC.
The simulator is based on Bus Driver Simulator 2019, created by the Russian studio KishMish Games. At the beginning of November this year, the title also appeared on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and is now heading to Nintendo Switch. The latter version is being prepared and published by Ultimate Games S.A.
In Bus Driver Simulator, the players can try their hand at being a bus driver. The gameplay is about efficiently delivering passengers to their destinations according to a specific schedule, while complying with road regulations. The simulator offers both highly varied scenarios with strictly defined conditions and a possibility to build your career without such limitations.
The developers have prepared two massive locations based on real cities – Cologne (Germany) and Serpukhov (Russia). They have faithfully recreated, among others, the locations of individual buildings, streets and bus stops.
”The game puts an emphasis on realism. Bus Driver Simulator features, among others, faithfully reproduced cities, realistic passenger traffic and a well-developed driving model. It includes various road situations, such as traffic jams, accidents and driving at night. Of course, it will also be necessary to visit gas stations and garages. Importantly, the Nintendo Switch version includes a set of all DLCs previously released on PC” – said Rafał Jelonek, COO at Ultimate Games S.A.
