Destiny 2 The Witch Queen: Everything We Know
The next major DLC expansion for Destiny 2, The Witch Queen, launches very soon. Excitingly, Destiny Universe vice president Mark Noseworthy has compared it to Destiny's The Taken King, which is widely regarded as that game's best content. Destiny 2: The Witch Queen follows the ongoing Season of the Lost, where Savathun--who has been lurking in the background of Destiny for years--has arrived and requested help from players. Of course, it appears she isn't an ally, and after Bungie teased Savathun's name for so long, Guardians will go head to head with the Hive God of Cunning in the new DLC. Accompanying the intriguing story, Year 5 of Destiny 2 brings an array of new features and gameplay changes. Here's everything we know about The Witch Queen.
The upcoming expansion will take place in Savathun's Throne World, which is an untamable wilderness and a majestic queendom. Mars reappears in the Solar system and Savathun's ship presents itself. Players will venture into her Throne World to decipher how Savathun and her Hive became Lightbearers. Ikora and her intelligence group, the Hidden, are in charge of leading Guardians into Savathun's Throne World based on information she's gathered, which is presented on the evidence board we've seen in trailers. Following Ikora’s orders, Guardians will start the first mission on Mars.
Alongside The Witch Queen expansion itself, Season 16--known as Season of the Risen--will also kick off on February 22. It will center on Guardians and the Vanguard teaming up with Cabal Empress Caiatl's forces to take down the Hive Guardians, using Caiatl's Light-suppressing technology. Clips from the ViDoc and trailers show Cabal-inspired seasonal armor and weapons for players to earn along the way.
