Destiny 2's next large-scale expansion, The Witch Queen, is seemingly set to launch in February 2022, according to the latest supposed leak surrounding the game.
The expansion is set to be formally revealed by Bungie in a live stream later today (August 24) at 9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern / 5pm UK (that's 2am AEST on August 25). However, as spotted by True Trophies, an alleged leak from the PlayStation Australia store listing for the title has let slip a few of the details surrounding the upcoming content. Fans hoping to wait until Bungie's official reveal to read details about the upcoming Destiny 2 expansion will want to look away now.
The Australian store leak suggests that the upcoming Destiny 2 expansion will release on February 22, 2022 and that players will gain access to an all-new weapon type during their playthrough. Known as the "Glaive", the leak suggests that the new weapon type will allow players to "unleash powerful melee combos, projectile attacks, and a deployable energy shield," when battling against enemies.
In addition to the Glaive, the store page also seemingly sheds further light on a new destination for the game. In what is being described as a "definitive Destiny campaign", players will embark on a new adventure to uncover the Witch Queen Savathun's Throne World and "the mystery of how she and her Lucent Hive stole the Light".
Bungie teased the Witch Queen's reveal in a short clip on Twitter recently where the Destiny 2 account went on to say, "We have limited details on this embodiment of the Witch Queen Savathûn, but her stature suggests a height of 21 feet."
