Destiny 2: The Queen of Whispers, the first expansion of the famous final trilogy of the well-known franchise, is released worldwide today. Here’s everything you need to know and the news about the Season of the Reborn.
Destiny 2: Queen of Whispers – The struggle for the power of Light is renewed
Time to prepare for the fight, because from today we must fight Savathûn to claim the power of the Light. Bungie has in fact officially opened the doors to Destiny 2: The Queen of Whispers – available now on all platforms and at Season of the Reborn. In the new expansion, you will be able to explore the throne, the seat of power of the mighty Savathûn. However, players will have to contend with the Shining brood, the mighty army of the hive. In the Season of the Reborn, however, the guardians will be able to take advantage of a technology of suppression of the Light, thanks to an alliance with Caiatl, Empress of the cabals.
Here are all the news of the new expansion:
- The Shining Brood. The mighty army led by Savathûn now grows strong with the powers of the Light. Guardians will now have to deal with enemies able to come back to life, to wield superpowers (if not familiar) and more.
- Weapons production. With Deep Sight, Guardians will be able to forge and upgrade a tremendous arsenal. Take advantage of the new system to create custom destruction tools, with unique combinations of mods, shaders and advanced stats.
- The falchion. Use it mercilessly – it’s a formidable melee weapon with a first-person view. It can also be used as a defense as it allows you to deploy a powerful energy shield that protects those who wield it.
- The tronomondo. This will be Destiny 2’s new destination – a place of corruption and splendor. This is Savathûn’s seat of power.
- Source. Activate matchmaking for up to six players to start a merciless fight to conquer the throne.
- New raid “Disciple’s Promise”. Guardians will have to rally their squad to stand together against the ancient dangers of a mystical place in the world: a submerged Pyramid. The raid will be accessible to owners of La Regina dei Sussurri starting March 5 at 7pm. This will be followed by a race for the world record that will reward the team that first completes the activity. Once victory is confirmed, each player on the team will receive an exclusive raid belt, as well as the world first title in play. The winners of the world record will be officially announced in the days following the launch of the raid.
