Though most of the really special pre-order goodies are exclusive to theCollector’s EditionofWitch Queen, even the digital version comes with a few desirable exclusive cosmetics.
It’s also worth remembering that placing a pre-order onDestiny 2: The Witch QueenDeluxe Edition will include a full year’s worth of content at a considerable discount. Namely, purchasing theWitch QueenDLC and its four subsequent seasons piecemeal, as well as the extrapaid dungeons that are new toDestiny 2, would end up costing a player more than getting the Deluxe Edition of this DLC.
Of course, this is also great news forBungie’s new owner, Sony Interactive Entertainment. The so-called Project Spartacus - a rumored Game Pass competitor from Sony - may well featureDestiny 2as its flagship offering. Especially now that Microsoft is looking to own Activision Blizzard and bring its full lineup ofCall of Dutygames to Game Pass.
Whether it’s becauseWitch Queenfeatures exciting new Exotic weaponsor because it’s simply that good of a deal for fans of the series, theWitch Queenexpansion pack forDestiny 2already 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.
