Destiny 2 players who are getting excited about the idea of immersing themselves in the next big expansion are getting a bit of good news this holiday season. The preorder for Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is getting a discount at one online retailer as a part of the Black Friday sales extravaganza.
While Destiny 2 won't be getting The Witch Queen expansion until next February, anyone who is certain they will be purchasing the add-on might want to snap it up now and get ready for fun later in the winter. Pre-orders are rarely discounted, even this time of year, as developers and publishers are likely hoping they can get full freight for the new content.
However, as part of Green Man Gaming's Black Friday sales event, the online storefront is offering a couple of big preorders on the cheap. In addition to Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, Green Man is also offering a discounted preorder for the much-anticipated fantasy game Elden Ring. Coincidentally, both games are due out in February.
The two games have roughly the same kinds of discounts as well. The site is offering three different ways to get The Witch Queen through the Black Friday sale. The Standard Edition of the expansion normally retails for $39.99 but users can now purchase a Steam version of the game for $33.99 while the normally $80 Deluxe Edition can be had for $67.99 for the Steam key.
There is also a Deluxe + Bungie 30th Anniversary Bundle that would normally cost $100 but has been marked down to $84.99 on the site. Finally, for those who aren't all that interested in the expansion but do want to grab the Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack, it can be had for $21.24, marked down from its normal $24.99 asking price.
- Pre-order Destiny 2: The Witch Queen at Green Man Gaming
This kind of deal being offered through Green Man Gaming is interesting for a couple of different reasons. Perhaps the thing that sticks out the most is that despite the numerous Black Friday sales on hundreds of games, preorders for games or expansions that are plenty popular like The Witch Queen have been truly few and far between. It's also worth noting that while Green Man Gaming's sale offers the Steam key to redeem on that particular format, it isn't being discounted in any way at the actual Steam Storefront. For now, it appears Green Man is the only way to get this deal.
The Destiny 2: The Witch Queen expansion will launch on February 22, 2022 for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
