You want to learn about Destiny 2 and its story, but buying all the expansions is too expensive for you? Then you now have the opportunity to play three important DLCs related to the lore, but beware: Bungie will take them away from you again.
What is this action about? Bungie has launched a promotion before the release of the upcoming DLC “The Final Shape”. You can try three major DLCs and their content for free for one month and prepare for the fight against the Witness. The DLCs include:
- Forsaken
- Beyond Light
- The Witch Queen
In addition to this promotion, you can even play all seasonal activities from Year 6 for free and secure the gear you can earn there. Stasis and Strand are also included. So, if you’ve never wanted to spend a cent on Destiny 2 but wanted to experience the most important story events of the Light and Darkness saga, you now have the chance. Why this promotion is worth it, we will show you below.
“The Final Shape” starts in less than a month, are you ready to destroy the Witness?
Witch Queen is a must for all lore fans
What makes this promotion worthwhile? Besides the fact that you can keep and use all the items you earn during the promotion, there is also a DLC, which you absolutely have to check out, and that is the “Witch Queen” expansion.
As for the story, Forsaken and Beyond Light performed mediocre and left many Guardians yawning, but with the Witch Queen, Bungie has been able to enchant its Guardians once again. Alongside atmospheric settings, mysteries, and gripping storytelling, Guardians finally gain deeper insights into the story and why the Hive is the way it is.
So, if you’ve always wondered why the Hive serves the Darkness, you will find satisfaction with “The Witch Queen”. However, if story isn’t your thing, you can try the many other group activities and raids of the DLCs. Especially the Deep Stone Crypt of the “Beyond Light” expansion is beginner-friendly and easy to learn.
How long does the promotion last? The promotion runs from May 7, 2024, to June 3, 2024. You therefore have a month to check out all the DLCs. If you’re now wondering what about “Lightfall”, the latest DLC from Bungie, we must disappoint you. This chapter is not available for free, but we can assure you, you’re not missing anything.
This DLC was poorly received in the community due to its flat story and puzzling decisions made for the narrative. For Lightfall, it’s also sufficient to watch some lore videos from well-known YouTubers – they are free and more in-depth than the DLC. You can find out what our Destiny experts thought of the Lightfall DLC in this opinion piece.
