14 DAY TRIAL // Although it leaked a few days ago, Destiny 2 fans were still excited to learn about the next chapter in the game’s ongoing Light & Darkness saga. The Witch Queen, the upcoming Destiny 2 expansion, is set to launch on February 22, 2022.
In addition to the expansion, Bungie unveiled the first details of the studio’s upcoming 30th Anniversary celebration, which begins in Destiny 2 this December. Also, players may want to know that Season of the Lost debuts today, along with the cross play feature.
In The Witch Queen, Destiny 2 players will face the most dangerous antagonist they’ve ever encountered and will unravel the truth behind Savathun, the Witch Queen. A new destination will be added to the game – Savathun Throne World, as well as a new type of enemy: Lucent Brood.
The Lucent Brood are in fact Hive enemies who are infused with the same Light that powers Guardians. To face these new threats, players will be able to forge their own weapons thanks to the brand-new weapon crafting system.
During the special Destiny 2 showcase event, Bungie also revealed the name of the final chapter of the Light & Darkness saga, called The Final Shape. The second chapter of the saga will be released in 2023 and is called Lightfall.
Last but not least, the studio revealed the first details of its 30th anniversary celebration plans, including the first look at the celebratory content arriving in the game this December.
Besides free content available to all players inspired by games from Bungie’s past, the studio announced the upcoming Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack for Destiny 2, which will include a new treasure-themed dungeon inspired by the “Loot Cave” from the original Destiny, new weapons and armor inspired by other Bungie games.
The Witch Queen expansion and the Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack for Destiny 2 are available for pre-order starting today for $40 / €40 and $25 / €25, respectively.
