It’s almost time for a huge Destiny 2 expansion to drop as The Witch Queen is set to arrive and change the landscape of the game forever.

The Witch Queen expansion is set to be the largest update yet and brings with it the definitive campaign experience. Whether you’re tackling things solo or as a team, there will be a ton of content for you to enjoy and we’ve got the low down as we start counting down the hours until launch.

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen Release Date and Time

The Witch Queen expansion for Destiny 2 will release on Tuesday, 22 February. We knew towards the end of last year approximately when it would arrive and then trailers started to come out that confirmed the late-February date.

The expansion will be available at the usual update time of 09:00 PST / 12:00 EST / 17:00 GMT / 18:00 CST. Expect massive queues to get back into the game once it’s live and hopefully there will be no issues that take the servers down entirely.

Destiny 2 has always been the type of game where players flock back when a new update or expansion releases so expect the same here. Player numbers should steady out over the weeks following the release of The Witch Queen.

Make sure you turn in all of your gunsmith materials as they will be gone once The Witch Queen is live. Instead, a new reputation system will be in place and you don’t want all your current materials to go to waste.

Spider will also be removed from the game so if you need to buy any glimmer, it’s best to do that now. Currency exchange is staying put but it will be done through Rahool once Year 5 begins.

Finally, be sure to unlock as much of the current season pass as possible because once it’s gone, it’s gone for good as well as the rewards featured within.
