Just in time for the debut of Destiny 2: Lightfall next week, a Steam sale this weekend offers players a sizable discount on The Witch Queen campaign. You can also play through the campaign for free all weekend on Steam and Epic during scheduled Destiny 2 downtime starting on February 27 at 9 am PST / 12 pm ET / 5 pm GMT for those interested in trying out the material without making a commitment to buy. Players have until Monday to finish the FPS game’s story for free, just in time for the most recent expansion.
The biggest showdown in the annals of the Destiny universe is expected to occur at Lightfall. The Witch Queen Standard Edition’s campaign on easy and legendary level, the Vox Obscura Exotic mission, and the Vow of the Disciple raid are all accessible to players during the free weekend of DLC in the free PC game.
In order to defeat Savathun, The Witch Queen whom The Traveler enigmatically granted the power of the Light, it is worthwhile for players who are ready to put in the work to embrace their power as a Guardian. The campaign leads players through Savathun’s Throne World, an alternate reality full of eerie secrets pertaining to The Witch Queen’s desire to rule over The Traveler, with the help of a helpful Ghost called Fynch.
The Witch Queen Deluxe Version is currently on sale for $19.99 (£17.49), 75% off the regular price of $79.99 (£69.99), on Steam through February 28. A catalyst, an ornament, an exotic sparrow, an exotic SMG, and a few other extras are included in the Deluxe Edition.
Additionally, the Deluxe Edition grants access to the game’s seasonal content, story missions, and several Exotic quests. However, the majority of this material will be removed in its current state upon the release of Lightfall. (Bungie intends to periodically repurpose exotic missions and add some Year 5 seasonal activities as strikes, but players won’t be able to access and perform these activities whenever they want to as they can now.)
Through February 28, the Legacy Collection for the Beyond Light, Forsaken, and Shadowkeep campaigns is available for the reduced price of $19.80 (£8.24 for Beyond Light, £5.60 for Forsaken, and £6.59 for Shadowkeep), which is a 67% reduction from the original price of $59.99 (£24.99 for Beyond Light, £16.99 for Forsaken, and £19.99 for Shadowkeep).
The Bungie 30th Anniversary bundle, which includes a dungeon, the Gjallarhorn Exotic Rocket Launcher, the Thorn armour set, and more, is also on sale via Steam for $9.99 (£8.79), 60% off, down from $24.99 (£21.99). Just days before the launch of the Destiny 2 Lightfall raid on March 9, the 30th Anniversary pack deal expires.
The Witch Queen and the seasonal story objectives of the Deluxe Edition are beneficial for players who are interested in learning everything that happened before Lightfall. Players can fill in some of the blanks about what transpired in the game over the course of the previous year thanks to an interactive Lightfall teaser. Nevertheless, regardless of whether players opt to continue exploring the Destiny 2 world with Lightfall, the brilliant and well-designed campaign alone is worth playing during the free weekend or purchasing due to the low cost.
Even though finishing The Witch Queen campaign will take several hours, it is feasible if a player has some extra time on their hands over the weekend and into the beginning of the following week. But before Destiny 2 season 20 starts, players only have a short window of time to take advantage of these drastically reduced purchase choices. Therefore, prepare to defeat the monarch in one of the top PC multiplayer games.
