Destiny 2: The Witch Queen and all other expansion packs will be free for one week. Developer Bungie confirmed in its Lightfall Showcase on Tuesday that the said content will be free to play on all platforms — PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X — until August 30. As part of the announcement, Bungie also recently brought Destiny 2 to the Epic Games Store for free, along with the 30th Anniversary Expansion Pack. The DLC is available for purchase on Steam for Rs. 329.
The Witch Queen expansion pack is considered by many to be one of the best missions Destiny 2 has offered in recent times. The DLC introduces a new location in the world of Savathûn’s Throne, as you uncover the mystery of how he and his Lucent Hive stole the light – showcasing his transformation from an alien god of mischief to a boss queen does. Players can expect new maps ranging from Gothic cathedrals, palaces, swamps, and a mysterious black pyramid on the icy moon of Europa.
The main Destiny 2 campaign also comes with a legendary mode, featuring tense level design, puzzles, breathtaking visuals and close-up combat – aided by the new firearms included with The Witch Queen Pack. On Steam, the DLC is available for Rs. 539, but the content must be unlocked for free access upon entering the main application. Players will not lose any in-game progress after the free offer expires, and all unlocked items and checkpoints can be accessed again upon purchase.
In addition, Destiny 2 and all of its expansions are now available on the Epic Games Store. The package also includes Bungie’s 30th Anniversary expansion, which adds a three-player dungeon — inspired by the famous Cosmodrome Loot Caves — as you follow a mysterious adventurer who traded his humanity for treasure. New weapons, jewelery and other cosmetics are also part of the expansion.
And since Destiny 2 offers cross-play support, players can jump into any platform they like – without fear of losing progress depending on where more friends are online. Be it Steam or the Epic Games version, all saves sync to your Bungie account. The move marks Destiny 2’s third storefront since its launch in 2017. The game was first available on Activision Blizzard’s Battle.Net, after which it gained independence and was ported to Steam.
Destiny 2: The Witch Queen Expansion Pack will be available for free for a full week until August 30th.
