After showing us her throne, introducing the Lucient Brood, and showing off the variety of weapons (including the all-new Glaive), the Witch Queen is now live for Destiny 2. It’s time to assault Savathûn on her throne. The expansion brings new enemies, a new raid, and the World of Throne to work out your tactics in a twisting new space.
The Witch Queen, which is Bungie’s first entry in the game’s Light & Dark Saga finale, continues that story in Destiny 2. Its release also marks the start of the new season, Season of the Risen. The Light is threatened, used by the Hive God Savathûn to create the Lucient Brood, a race of Light-infused Hive enemies that she controls. That means you’ll need some new tactics, and luckily the expansion is ready to leave you well equipped.

This pack introduces weapon crafting to Destiny 2, where you can craft different types of weapons using the new system, choosing your mods, shaders, and stat pools for your preferred weapon style and power . The new Glaive is a special first-person melee weapon that can be used in a variety of ways, including special ranged abilities and optionally an energy shield.
The first raid in The Witch Queen, The Disciple’s Wish, will launch on March 5. This raid not only features enemies to fight and kill, but is designed specifically to test your ability to cooperate effectively and think quickly, while dealing with threats.
This expansion has multiple versions, and the Deluxe and 30th Anniversary packs will be the only ones to get multiple instant unlocks for weapons, an emblem, and an emote, as well as exclusive access to two upcoming dungeons. This change was met with some controversy when it was revealed.
The Witch Queen is available now on all platforms. To learn more, visit the Destiny 2 website.
