Destiny 2: The Witch Queen Launches Worldwide

After years of expansions, the next update for Destiny 2 is now where. With The Witch Queen bringing new missions, weapons, cosmetics, and an upcoming raid that will test players' mettle.

If you have the F2P version of Destiny 2 you can play the intromission to the expansion but will need to purchase the update to play any further.

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen

Savathûn’s deceit has been exposed and Guardians prepare for a showdown with the Witch Queen, to face her Light-wielding allies, and fight to take back the Light.

Lucent Brood: Savathûn has gifted her soldiers with the powers of the Light. Guardians will now face enemies who can resurrect, wield powerful (and familiar) Supers, and more.

Weapon Crafting: Guardians will use Deepsight to craft and upgrade an array of fearsome weaponry. Master the system to create your customized weapons with unique combinations of shaders, mods, and advanced stat pools.

The Glaive: A formidable first-person melee weapon that packs a punch up close and at range. This new weapon type can also deploy a powerful energy shield to protect its wielder.

The Throne World: A new destination in Destiny 2, the Throne World is the seat of Savathûn’s power, a twisted wonderland of corruption and splendor. Here, Guardians will seek the truth and learn that mystery makes a home in both the Darkness and the Light.

Wellspring: A new six-player matchmade activity is at the heart of the ongoing struggle for control of the Throne World.

New Raid – Vow of the Disciple: Among the swamps of Savathûn’s Throne World lies a sunken Pyramid. Guardians will gather their fireteam and confront the ancient danger that lies within.
