Destiny 2 Introduces The Witcher Skins in Season of the Wish Update

Destiny 2's next crossover event, announced by Bungie, will feature cosmetics inspired by Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher series by CD Projekt. Players can customize their Destiny 2 character with new armor ornaments, a Ghost shell, ship, Sparrow, emote, and finisher, all inspired by the monster-slayer from The Witcher. The content will be available on November 28 with the release of Season of the Wish. Pricing details have not been announced.

In addition, Bungie has revealed that the largest sale of the year at the Bungie Store will begin on November 24. Customers will receive a complimentary Darkstar emblem with every purchase. Furthermore, Destiny 2's Lightfall expansion and other content will be heavily discounted on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam for Black Friday, with the promotion ending on November 28.

The introduction of the Witcher skins and the Bungie Store sale follows closely on the heels of significant internal changes at the studio, which have sparked controversy within the Destiny fanbase.

Bloomberg's recent report stated that approximately 100 employees, equating to 8% of Bungie's 1,200 staff, have been terminated. The report also mentioned that Destiny 2's revenue has fallen short of the studio's expectations by 45% following the release of the poorly received Lightfall.

In other news, CD Projekt is currently working on a new trilogy of Witcher games and a remake of the original Witcher within The Witcher series.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z fan, I am thrilled about the introduction of Witcher skins in Destiny 2. The Witcher series is one of my all-time favorites, and I have been eagerly anticipating the release of these skins since they were first announced. I think it's a great way to bring two of my favorite franchises together, and I can't wait to see how the skins look in-game.

However, I am concerned about the recent news regarding Bungie's internal changes. The layoffs and reports of Destiny 2's revenue falling short of expectations are troubling. I hope that Bungie can weather this storm and continue to support Destiny 2 in the long term. I am invested in the game and want to see it continue to grow and thrive.
