Of all the expansions that Bungie has revealed so far, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is just about the biggest yet. While there's always a marketing push leading to a new expansion, Bungie has seemingly doubled its efforts to get players on board this time around. A big part of that draw is the new content coming to the expansion. For those looking to play everything it has to offer, here's when Destiny 2: The Witch Queen's Raid will release.
Over on Bungie.net, the studio revealed the details of when players will be able to dive into the Raid. While the Raid's name hasn't been announced yet, likely to avoid any potential story spoilers for The Witch Queen, Bungie did reveal that Destiny 2: The Witch Queen's Raid will become available on March 5, 2022, at 10 AM PST. That will give Destiny 2 players a few weeks to prepare for the end game content.
Bungie didn't reveal much more than the date and time The Witch Queen's Raid will become available, though it did promise more information is forthcoming. Bungie also encouraged those attempting to earn the "World First" title to put in their time off requests for work right now, which is the only way to stay competitive for serious players. On the flip side, Bungie also encouraged students to focus on their studies instead of skipping school to play.
Raids are an important pillar of Destiny 2 and have been since the first game was released. Kicking off with Vault of Glass, Raids have helped close loose narrative threads, provide interesting challenges, and help players earn rare loot in a way that other content doesn't quite mirror. Finding a solid Raid group can be a challenge, but there are plenty of players out there looking to Sherpa newbies along.
The Raid is just a small piece of broader changes that are coming to Destiny 2 alongside The Witch Queen. While it was expected to release last year, it was delayed to February 2022 to give Bungie more time to polish its nooks and crannies. In exchange for the extended wait time – which has been alleviated by Bungie's Anniversary – Bungie is promising some of the best content Destiny 2 has seen to date.
Luckily, February 22 is approaching rapidly, and fans will be able to their hands on The Witch Queen soon. Once that happens, players can start getting themselves prepared for everything that The Witch Queen's Raid will throw at them.
Destiny 2: The Witch Queen releases February 22, 2022, for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
