Bungie promised a big reveal for Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, but we got so much more than that. Not only can Guardians jump into Season of the Lost starting today, the studio also shared what the Witch Queen expansion will bring to the table, including the best darn weapon from Destiny 1 in existence. Since there is so much to discuss, we figured we’d break down our top 5 features revealed during the Witch Queen showcase.
The bulk of the showcase centered around Witch Queen and the seasons that it will encompass, though there were some 30-year celebrations thrown in as well! The Witch Queen will be a new campaign that aims to bring the narrative full circle when reflecting back on the lore around the Hive god and her siblings in their bid for power on Fundament, the Hive home world. With Mara Sov’s return and Osiris being… hmm, you know – Season of the Lost will lead into the new expansion, continuing on the incredible storytelling that truly hit its stride with Season of the Chosen and Splicer.
So what are we most excited about with Witch Queen and Season of the Lost? Let’s dive in!
Weapon Crafting
The Glaive is an energy weapon that allows players to melee with a tool in first-person, allowing for Guardians to combo, fire mid-ranged projectiles, and assume a defensive position with ease. It looks incredible, but there is still more to learn. For instance, Bungie teased that there will be class-specific Exotic variants with unique attacks for the Glaive, but the team wasn’t quite ready to spoil that just yet.

The Awoken queen will be returning to the Dreaming City in an effort to break the curse that Savathun has placed on it, but she'll need our help to save all of the lost tech witches from the Shattered Realm.
Bungie has been taking the narrative of Destiny 2 to entirely new places over the past year and the community and the game itself has been all the better for it. With her return and the “battle of two queens,” her return marks a significant tether to the first game that I can’t wait to explore.
