Destiny 2 Players Expecting to Kill Savathun in The Witch Queen Might be Disappointed

gamerant.com:

Destiny 2's next big expansion is a month away, and it's going to feature a long-standing enemy of mankind in Savathun - but this time with the powers of the Traveler's Light. The fact that Savathun is one of the Hive Gods and has been scheming against mankind for so long makes her a perfect villain, especially because she is considered the God of trickery and deception. Savathun even managed to pose as Osiris starting in Season of the Hunt, revealing her true self at the beginning of Season of the Lost when she was trapped in a crystal by Mara Sov.

Those who played through the first installment of the series know that the Hive has always been one of the most powerful and terrifying enemies of humanity. Guardians managed to defeat Oryx, and Destiny 2 seems to be focused on defeating his sisters Xivu Arath and Savathun. However, Savathun appears to be a very complex character, and it's likely her shifting allegiance with the Light will have some effect on her, possibly to the point that players won't have to consider her an enemy going forward.

The entirety of Destiny 2's Year 4, which began with Season of the Hunt and the Beyond Light expansion, has been about showing how some characters or races can be redeemed in the eyes of the Guardians. This process began with Uldren Sov returning as the Lightbearer Crow, a very different person serving the Traveler who wishes to do better than Uldren. Uldren was responsible for creating the Scorn, and he and his band of Scorned Baron killed Cayde-6 during the Forsaken campaign.

Crow is now considered one of the best characters in Destiny 2, something players learned to appreciate about the Guardian throughout
