Over a Million People Have Pre-Ordered Destiny 2: The Witch Queen

3.9
Destiny 2 is making plenty of headlines nowadays, with the latest piece of news from Bungie relating to the sheer number of preorders that Destiny fans have placed on the game's next major piece of DLC: Witch Queen. According to Bungie's official announcement on Twitter, over 1 million pre-orders are now in place.

With The Witch Queen DLC for Destiny 2 featuring plenty of new features to toy around with, fearsome foes to vanquish, and loot to farm (or craft, as it were), the excitement surrounding this particular release seems to be particularly energetic in the various Destiny online communities. The number of pre-orders that have been made so far takes this idea a step further still.

Though most of the really special pre-order goodies are exclusive to the Collector's Edition of Witch Queen, even the digital version comes with a few desirable exclusive cosmetics.


It's also worth remembering that placing a pre-order on Destiny 2: The Witch Queen Deluxe Edition will include a full year's worth of content at a considerable discount. Namely, purchasing the Witch Queen DLC and its four subsequent seasons piecemeal, as well as the extra paid dungeons that are new to Destiny 2, would end up costing a player more than getting the Deluxe Edition of this DLC.

Of course, this is also great news for Bungie's new owner, Sony Interactive Entertainment. The so-called Project Spartacus - a rumored Game Pass competitor from Sony - may well feature Destiny 2 as its flagship offering. Especially now that Microsoft is looking to own Activision Blizzard and bring its full lineup of Call of Duty games to Game Pass.

Whether it's because Witch Queen features exciting new Exotic weapons or because it's simply that good of a deal for fans of the series, the Witch Queen expansion pack for Destiny 2 already seems to be a major success for Bungie. With just a few more weeks to go before the DLC comes out, Bungie should start revealing more information about the nitty-gritty of the game's new gameplay mechanics, such as weapon crafting.

Destiny 2 is currently available on PC, Stadia, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series platforms, with its Witch Queen DLC coming out on February 22nd.
