After roughly a seven-year journey which began inDestinyand continues today inDestiny 2, players have been preparing for the day they would do battle with the mysterious and cunning Savathun. The day is right around the corner as players will finally come face to face with the Hive god whenThe Witch Queenreleases in February 2022. As much as Bungie is hyping up this confrontation, one creative player is highlighting the long road to this release with an epic, fan-made trailer.
The Witch Queenis the next expansion forDestiny 2which, as mentioned above, will pit guardians against Savathun and her light-infused Lucent Brood. Guardians will need to venture into her throne world to discover how she seemingly stole the light, imbued her Hive army with it, and find a way to reclaim it. To do this, players will need to unravel the mysteries of Savathun’s realm while armed with new weapons to stop her Lucent Brood in their tracks.

WhileSavathunhas only been more directly involved with guardians over the last year, some players could argue the universe has been building to this moment for nearly eight years. It has been a road littered with universe-changing moments, from the defeat of Oryx to gaining Darkness powers in the form of Stasis. YouTuber HIGHL4NDR highlights this road with their own custom trailer titled “Destiny: Journey toWitch Queen.”
HIGHL4NDR’s trailer features clips of key moments acrossDestinyandDestiny 2using largely in-game cutscenes and various official trailers from Bungie. They also use clips from other fan material produced by fellowDestiny-centric YouTubers Drexis Animations and MyNameIsByf, both of whom HIGHL4NDR thanks for the footage.
However, fans of DC Extended Universe films may recognize HIGHL4NDR’s choice of music from the climax ofZack Snyder’s Justice League. The music is titled “At the Speed of Force” and serves as the musical backdrop forThe Flashreversing time to stop the Mother Boxes from destroying the Earth and prevent Darkseid’s invasion.
The trailer not only highlights the road toThe Witch Queen, and it has been a long one, but is also another example of the creativity present inside theDestinycommunity. It is a creativity Bungie encourages regularly as part of its This Week at Bungie post, spotlighting some favorite creations from the community whether it be a fan-made video or art. It was this spotlight HIGHL4NDR was hoping to get with the help of the community, which it did in themost recent TWAB post.
Destiny 2is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.The Witch Queenlaunches on February 22.
