Bungie has recently announced the next major expansion for Destiny 2 – The Witch Queen. In this context, there were numerous new details about the upcoming addon. Among the information, one of the most exciting announcements was almost completely overlooked. However, this could interest a lot of players.
What is Witch Queen all about? “The Witch Queen” will be the next major expansion for Destiny 2 from Bungie. With this addon, we can expect a lot of new content and features – but not this year anymore. Because Bungie postponed the expansion originally planned for autumn 2021 to February 22, 2022 due to the global Corona pandemic.

In the course of the recent reveal, the first official details were finally announced, and much of it has created a lot of anticipation among fans and players. Yet, one quite interesting detail has almost completely gone unnoticed.
Bungie wants to bring something new to the endgame with each season
What exactly has gone unnoticed? In the reveal stream for Witch Queen on August 24, 2021, the Destiny 2 developers announced that they plan to continuously release fresh endgame content with Witch Queen and in the following seasons of Year 5. Specifically, a new or refreshed raid or a new dungeon is supposed to come each season – for example, one of the following:
Boss in the King’s Fall Raid – Oryx 
Oryx’s son Crota from Crota’s End 
The Leviathan Raid
That’s why it’s so important: This leaves many Guardians relieved and brings joy, as many criticize the content supply in Destiny 2 and some would like more options in the endgame. These nearly timeless pieces of content help many bridge periods of content drought and are among the most popular group activities in the game. If regular updates actually come and Bungie keeps its promise, it would be a radical change for the endgame of Destiny 2.
What we already know:
- In Season 15, a new dungeon is supposed to be released, accessible only to the buyers of the 30 Years of Bungie Pack.
- Furthermore, the Witch Queen expansion will launch with a new raid fitting the Shahr setting. This raid will not be a remake but a completely new one.
- Two more dungeons have already been announced by Bungie for the seasons during Year 5.
What could we expect? The dungeon from the birthday pack is set in the Cosmodrome, the entrance is in the infamous loot cave from Part 1, but the dungeon itself is reportedly completely new. What awaits us with the other two dungeons is not known.
The raid from Witch Queen in Season 16 will also be new. It takes place in the swamps of Savathûn’s Throne World – in a sunken pyramid. There, you should confront an ancient danger that is trapped within. Unfortunately, there are no more details available at this time – also not about other potential raids.
However, Bungie would have enough options through the Destiny Content Vault to quickly bring back popular raids from the past – such as Crota’s End, King’s Fall, or Wrath of the Machines. But also retired raids from Part 2.
What do you think about the announcement? Which old raid should definitely come back next in your opinion? Let us know in the comments.
