The delay of Destiny 2: The Witch Queen was probably the delay that bummed me out the most during the Covid-19 pandemic. As I write this, we are right on the cusp of this finally being released after a six month delay. I thought it would be fun to take a little look at a few of the things we know about the upcoming expansion so that we can all get excited about it when it is fully released. Bungie has stated that this new expansion is going to be supported for quite a while so that is pretty exciting!

Who Is The Witch Queen?

I think that Destiny has a pretty epic lore going on and what I am loving about the plot of Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is that it is going back to the original Destiny’s expansion, The Taken King! Savathûn the antagonist of the story here is the sister of Oryx who was the big bad in The Taken King!

Welcome To Savathûn’s Throne World

The new setting for the game, Savathûn’s Throne World is the coolest looking place in Destiny so far if you ask me. This place is just so crazy, you have places like Savathûn’s Palace that will make you say wow due to its sheer impressive nature, but you also have swamps and other off the beaten path type areas that look kind of grim and dirty, but awesome in their own right. I cannot want to dive into this place, learn more about it and do some serious exploration.

Keeping You Busy

It should go without saying, but Destiny 2: The Witch Queen has a ton of new content for keeping you busy for a very long time and that is not even counting the updates that this is going to get. From PVE sections to a lot of content for those that like to play Destiny solo, this is going to be stacked with content. They also have lots of new PVP maps, a brand new raid and there are of course lots of new weapons and equipment that you can play around with as well.

The Glaive

There is one last thing about Destiny 2: The Witch Queen that I want to specifically talk about and that is the glaive which is a new weapon type. Now, I already mentioned that there were new weapons, but this is something really new. This is a short and long ranged weapon, but it is not like other weapons that have their randomized perks. Instead, this will allow players to customize the abilities of their glaive. It sounds very interesting and the idea is that players can have this special weapon that they can tinker with so it suits their playstyle specifically. How exactly this is going to work, I am not sure, but it is one of the main things I am excited about.

As you can tell, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is something that I could not be any more hyped for. It is one of my most anticipated releases of 2022 and I just hope that the initial release goes off without a hitch.

If you are a fan of Destiny, then you already know what a big deal this is and I will probably see you online when the game launches!

Pros:

  • I am always down for more Destiny 2 action
  • I love the idea of the story they are telling here and the antagonist sounds awesome
  • It is probably the most exciting world we have had in Destiny so far
  • The whole thing with the new glaive weapons sounds very interesting

Cons:

  • As excited as I am, I am worried about how smooth the launch will be
  • Will glaive weapons give certain players an advantage over others?

Game Reviews

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen provides a new and exciting opportunity for everyone who has not yet tried the hit shooter. It’s a good time to jump in, with a host of new content and a whole new story section that you can try out. On top of that, a series of new additions will come along to make sure that Destiny 2 is more than capable of feeling modern for the rest of 2022 and beyond. At the moment, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen will be the fifth expansion for this online shooter developed by Bungie.

The next release is set to come out in late February 2022, and looks set to finally offer a new story experience for Destiny 2 fans waiting for something fresh and new.

A conclusion to the epic story?

This next expansion for Destiny 2 has been delayed for some time, with the COVID-19 pandemic having a major impact on production. However, with release now confirmed for February ’22, we are nearing ever-closer to release. What we do know about this story is that it will build upon a character who was first mentioned in the original Destiny: Oryx. Oryx weas the antagonist of The Taken King, a previous expansion for the original Destiny.

This will see fans take on his sister, Savathun. Arriving with the commitment to getting revenge on those who took down her brother, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen will see players come up against Savathun in new environments. On top of that, we will see a host of new missions, new locations, new weapons, and new gear. On top of that, a new raid will also be added, giving both casuals and more hardcore players a fine selection of things to do within Destiny 2: The Witch Queen. This might play a bit more like a traditional Destiny expansion, which should be exciting for those who feel like the series has lost its way slightly.

What we do not know is whether or not this will be the final expansion for D2. It very well could be, with so much content now wrapped up in the controversial vault system. Various activities that became part of the Destiny 2 world with Beyond Light will be removed, for example.

An exciting addition, long required

While we are yet to get our hands on Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, we do know that it offers something the game really needs: change. Destiny 2 has become stale with the content released in 2020 now well and truly played through by much of the playerbase. This means that many will find that they are simply looking for something fresh to do within the world of Destiny 2.

Well, the Destiny 2: The Witch Queen expansion looks to add a large selection of new features and content. With the title very much in need of something fresh, fans will need to wait and see whether or not this latest expansion can make good. Each expansion so far for Destiny 2 has come with major pros and cons; it is likely that Destiny 2: The Witch Queen will follow the same path.

Still, for fans of the Bungie series waiting for something new, this should deliver.

Pros

  • An exciting new range of content that can freshen up the game.
  • New characters and plotlines to inject some freshness into the series.

Cons

  • Likely to come with the usual pros and cons that make-up the series so far.
