Destiny 2is shaking up how it releases its major expansions, withThe Witch Queenexpansion not coming until early 2022, more than a year since thelaunch ofBeyond Light. As it stands,Destiny 2fans still know very little aboutThe Witch Queenexpansion and what exactly it will entail, but that will change next month. Bungie has finally confirmed the reveal date for theDestiny 2Witch Queenexpansion.
Bungie took to Twitter to announce a specialDestiny 2Showcase event taking place on Tuesday, August 24. Bungie made the announcement with an image that showsThe Witch Queenlogoalong with the phrase “Survive the truth” with no additional context. Bungie didn’t even reveal what time theDestiny 2Showcase event will take place, so it seems fans will need to hang tight to find out exactly when they should be tuning in come August 24.

When theDestiny 2Showcase does happen, it will be interesting to see just how deep of a dive it is for fans of the game. Presumably, it will at the very least give fans aDestiny 2Witch Queentrailer to chew over, setting up the story and highlighting the expansion’s major players. But if fans are lucky, it may also reveal what they can expect from the expansion gameplay-wise.As it stands, very little is known aboutDestiny 2’sWitch Queenexpansion in an official capacity. Bungie did release an image reportedly fromWitch Queenthat has led fans to believe that the new expansion will beset in Old Chicago, but that has yet to be confirmed. Beyond teasing Old Chicago as a potential setting for the newDestiny 2expansion, Bungie has also shown off someWitch Queenarmor, but otherwise it has remained mostly silent about what exactly it will entail.
One possibility is thatDestiny 2will vaultForsakencontentwith the arrival ofThe Witch Queenexpansion. Bungie has already said that there will come a point when theForsakenexpansion content is filed away in the game’s content vault, and ifThe Witch Queenis introducing a new location as rumored, it could very well happen with the new expansion. If Bungie does vaultForsakencontent, it will be interesting to see if the company brings back any of the older vaulted content; perhaps vaulted locations will play a role inThe Witch Queen’s story.
In the meantime,Destiny 2PvP players will no doubt have their fingers crossed that theDestiny 2Showcase confirms some new PvP content.Destiny 2has barely added any major new PvP contentthese last couple of years, so hopefully that changes withThe Witch Queen’s introduction on August 24.
Destiny 2is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
