Destiny 2: The Witch Queen Expansion Dated, Season of the Lost and Crossplay Drops Today

Get ready for a Destiny 2 blowout, because Bungie just revealed a ton of new info their current and future plans during a packed livestream. First and foremost, Bungie provided the first trailer, gameplay, and details for their next major expansion, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen. It looks like this expansion is putting story content front-and-center with a major campaign expansion that will see you the Throne World of the Witch Queen herself, Savathûn, which Bungie is promising is the series’ biggest, baddest villain yet. The expansion will also introduce weapon crafting, including the all-new melee weapon type, the Glaive.  Check out a teaser trailer for The Witch Queen, below.

The Witch Queen will launch this coming February. Here’s the game’s full gameplay reveal.

Before players get to tackle The Witch Queen, they’ll have the play through the prelude that is Destiny 2: Season of the Lost. This seasonal expansion features the return of Mara Sov, Queen of the Awoken, and it seems she may be scheming something with Osiris. The Season also includes the long-awaiting introduction of crossplay, anti-cheat, and multiplayer matchmaking to Destiny 2. Check out a trailer for Season of the Lost, below.

Next up, this December will see the release of the Destiny 2 Bungie 30th Anniversay Pack, which will include an array of return cosmetics and favorite weapons, including the Gjallarhorn!
