During a livestream, Bungie revealed a lot of exciting information about the upcoming expansion forDestiny 2. It also took the opportunity to share details of the fascinating goodies that will be a part of collector’s edition of the expansion.
TitledWitch Queen,the newDestiny 2expansion is scheduled to launch next year on February 22. The story will be centered around the Guardian’s conflict with Savathun, who possesses the ability to revive fallen guardians using Hive Ghosts.
There is a lot on offer, but the main attraction of the collector’s edition is the extremely detailed replica of the Hive Ghost from the revealtrailer ofWitch Queen. Other notable items included the Psychometer Replica with lights and sounds, The Hidden ID badge, Lenticular Reveal Card, and the digital soundtrack. The store page features a mysterious message that states that players can use the Psychometer to “experiment with artifacts to gather evidence and unlock clues…” Overall, there are a lot of exciting physical and digital goodies available in this edition.

Destiny 2fans can also choose to order a collector’s edition that does not include the game, should they wish to getWitch Queenseparately. None of the editions come with a physical disc, and instead ship with a game code for that platform. The collector’s edition retails for $249.99, or $150 without the game code. As expected, it includes the deluxe version plus Bungie 30th Anniversary Bundle ofWitch Queen, which is available separately for the a price of $99.99.
The expansions forDestiny 2have gotten extremely impressive collector’s editions. Customers who purchasedthe collector’s edition forDestiny 2: Beyond Lightreceived a light-up Splinter of Darkness replica and a Europa-themed bag, among other notable collector’s items. So, it comes as no surprise to seeWitch Queenget the same treatment. While the cost seems to be on the high side, Bungie does put a lot of effort into making the collector’s editions worth the asking price. Giving players the option to purchase all of the items without the game, thereby reducing the price, is also a commendable idea.
These collector’s editions are extremely limited and fans will have to be patient if they hope to purchase one. At the time of this writing, the official pre-order page says that there are over 7000 people already in the queue. Anyone who has gone throughthe painful task of purchasing a next-generation consoleknows how difficult the process can be.
Destiny 2is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
