Destiny 2: The Witch Queen new expansion will cause Destiny 2 to be down until 5pm today

Online "shared-world shooter" Destiny 2, which was developed by famed Halo developer Bungie, will today be receiving a massive new expansion titled The Witch Queen.

Destiny 2's servers will be offline ahead of the launch so those currently playing the game will need to make sure they have finished all their quests and prepare for when the new expansion drops.

The last major expansion to the game was Beyond Light back in November 2020, and fans are excited to see what The Witch Queen holds in store. The much-anticipated Witch Queen expansion, according to Bungie on Twitter, has received over 1 million pre-orders and some players have been able to preload the expansion.

The free to play title is available on Xbox, PlayStation and PC and was originally released in 2017, becoming widely popular, and has featured ongoing content expansions further adding to the game and further developing the story.
