Trailers for Destiny 2's upcoming expansion, The Witch Queen, have slowly given more and more glimpses of what we can expect when we delve into the strange throne world of Savathun, Destiny's Hive god of deception. Bungie's latest trailer for the game gives us the most in-depth look at the expansion yet, but in small pieces and quick flashes. Still, there seem to be a lot of clues potentially scattered throughout the trailer.
We've poured over the newest look at The Witch Queen to see what clues can be gleaned. It offers a few new insights, raises a few new questions, and gives us plenty of room to speculate on what Guardians will face when they go after Savathun on February 22.
The distant Pyramid
The Pyramid ship in Savathun's Throne World raises a lot of questions.
The first shot we see in the trailer is that of a Pyramid ship resting in a swamp--something we've known to expect in Savathun's Throne World. Speculation has it that the Pyramid will be the sight of the expansion's raid, but from a story perspective, the inclusion of the pyramid ship in the Throne World is an interesting one. Savathun's ostensible goal in the Season of the Lost has been to rid herself of her worm, which is the source of the Hive's power and also its connection to the Darkness. That has effectively rendered Savathun as an enemy to the Darkness, and that raises the question of what the presence of the pyramid might mean. Is it something Savathun has captured? Is it an opposing force even in her own Throne World?
