Here is everything you need to know about Destiny 2’s The Witch Queen Expansion, Season of the Lost, and more
The Destiny 2 Showcase just ended. It was packed with a ton of information about the upcoming expansion, new season, and what to expect from the game in the future. Here is everything you need to know about Destiny 2’s The Witch Queen Expansion, Season of the Lost, and more. Guardians will be sent to Savathûn’s throne world where her fortress overlooks a swamp. However, venturing into Savathûn’s home world is not the biggest threat to Guardians. Savathûn has found a way to steal the Light and reanimate the bodies of dead Hive to create “Hive Guardians” or “Lucent Hive.” These Lucent Hive are the backbone of her new army and even have their own version of a Ghost. This brings into question the Destiny universe’s rules about Light and Darkness. The Witch Queen will also introduce an entirely new weapon mechanic— weapon crafting. Guardians will be able to make their own weapons and improve them through a combat progression system. These weapons will incorporate “unique mod, shader, and stat combinations.” These crafted weapons will include a new weapon type called the “Glaive.” This is the first first-person melee weapon in the game. It can unleash melee attacks, fire mid-range projectiles, and deploy energy shields. Guardians will be able to initially craft all throne world, new raid, and seasonal weapons. More weapons will be added throughout the year. Hardcore players will be delighted to learn that they will be able to choose between regular and legendary story campaign mode. Enemies hit harder and there are limited revives in the legendary mode. The difficulty of this mode will be scaled based off the number of Guardians in the fireteam. What else can Guardians expect from The Witch Queen? The Witch Queen expansion can be pre-ordered now for $79.99 USD on all available platforms. The Deluxe Edition includes Seasons 16-19, two Year-5 Dungeons, an Exotic SMG, catalyst, ornament, and an Exotic Sparrow. Those who pre-order the Deluxe Edition will also receive a Throne World Exotic Ghost Shell, the Enigma Exotic emote, and a new emblem. The Witch Queen expansion will officially be released on February 22, 2022. The Destiny 2 showcase started off with a bang with the official reveal of The Witch Queen expansion. The main antagonist for the expansion will be Savathûn, also known as the “Witch Queen.” She is a Hive god and sister to Xivu Arath, God of War and Oryx, the Taken King. She is also arguably the most dangerous enemy in the game. Guardians will be sent to Savathûn’s throne world where her fortress overlooks a swamp. However, venturing into Savathûn’s home world is not the biggest threat to Guardians.
