The Witch Queen is shaping up to be Destiny 2’s biggest expansion in years, and Bungie just debuted a major video showing off its features.

The ViDoc also revealed the name of The Witch Queen’s companion season: Season of the Risen. This new season looks to offer Cabal-themed armor — based off of Caiatl’s horde — and a new Colossus-themed Exotic.

The other two class Exotic and weapon Exotics will likely remain a mystery until launch.
Finally, Bungie gave some additional context on Solar and Arc 3.0, coming after The Witch Queen. Solar will focus
