When does Destiny 2: The Witch Queen go live?
Ryan Gilliam (he/him) has worked at Polygon for nearly seven years. He primarily spends his time writing guides for massively popular games like Diablo 4 & Destiny 2.
Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is nearly here, and it’s bringing some major changes to Destiny 2, like a new weapon type, crafting, the biggest campaign we’ve seen in years, Void 3.0, and more. The official release date for the new expansion in Feb. 22, but exactly when can you jump in to give Savathun a beatdown on Tuesday?
The Witch Queen will be available at Destiny 2’s usual reset time on Feb. 22: noon EST/9 a.m. PST. However, expansions are usually very busy days for Destiny 2, and the launch timing isn’t always smooth. It’ll likely be a few hours before server issues and login queue times die down, and players are able to reliably log in.
Maintenance won’t conclude on the Destiny 2 servers until two hours after the servers go live, at 2 p.m. EST/11 a.m. PST. There will likely be some stability issues while this maintenance is still going on.
Prior to The Witch Queen’s launch, Destiny 2 will be completely unavailable. At 10 p.m. EST/7 p.m. PST on Feb. 21, any logged-in players will be booted from Destiny 2, and Bungie will bring the game offline until it launches The Witch Queen — a total downtime of 14 hours. Guardians hoping to prepare for the expansion will need to get everything done before Monday night.
Players will be able to preload the Witch Queen patch starting at midnight EST on Feb. 22/9 p.m. EST on Feb. 21.

Reviews for "The Community's Reaction to Destiny Witch Queen Release Date News"
1. John - 1/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Witch Queen release date for Destiny. The hype leading up to it was huge, with promises of new content and a fresh experience. However, the release felt underwhelming and rushed. The game was plagued with bugs, the new content didn't feel substantial enough, and it just didn't live up to the hype. I've been a long-time fan of Destiny, but this release left a sour taste in my mouth.
2. Sarah - 2/5 stars - As a player who has invested a lot of time and money into Destiny, I was expecting the Witch Queen release to be a game-changer. Unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The new content felt lackluster, and it didn't provide enough incentive for me to continue playing. The release date was delayed multiple times, which only added to my frustration. Overall, I was hoping for a more immersive and engaging experience, but it just didn't deliver.
3. Mark - 2/5 stars - I have been playing Destiny since the beginning, and I have always been excited about new releases. However, the Witch Queen release date left me feeling disappointed. The content felt repetitive and uninspired. The new features and gameplay mechanics didn't add anything substantial to the game. I was hoping for a fresh and exciting experience, but it felt like more of the same. I hope Bungie can step up their game in future releases.
