Destiny 2's The Witch Queen has been out for around a month-and-a-half now, and the overall reception from fans has been very positive for several reasons, including the narrative direction the game is taking. One of the reasons why The Witch Queen is so successful in what it does is that it takes a lot of themes and storylines from the origins of the franchise, or even from the origins of the Destiny 2 universe. The Witch Queen is forever tied to Destiny's most successful release, The Taken King, and all the lore surrounding the Hive.
