Well, this is a weird one. Apparently a new ad for Destiny 2’s Witch Queen expansion has been making the rounds, not on social media, but as a Google Adsense insert, as in, one of those little autoplaying videos that spools up when you visit a website.
And somehow, it manages to reveal more new things than anything we’ve seen from the most recent official Destiny 2 Witch Queen adds, including two significant new weapons. I suppose you could consider this spoilers, even though this is very much an ad made by Bungie?
The first weapon is seen above, and while I’m not sure if it’s an exotic or a legendary (pretty sure it would be exotic), it appears to be some sort of arc railgun/machine gun hybrid.
The second weapon is uh, something else entirely. In what definitely has to be an exotic, a grenade launcher that appears to shoot exploding Hive larva.
The ad also shows off the exotic SMG that we’ve seen used in promotional materials before, but I’m still not exactly sure what it does. There’s also a pretty heavy feature for a glaive that looks different than the ones we’ve seen thus far, but we so know little about glaives at this point I’m not sure exactly what we’re seeing here.
Again, I have no idea what’s going on with this ad, and why it’s only appearing in certain regions through Google Adsense. It seems like this would probably be something that Bungie meant to release soon here, as it wouldn’t have been cut and uploaded, so we might get a more official release of it next week. Or maybe if I can spread this around enough, they’ll just release a better version of it today. Knowing my luck, I will write this article and by the time it’s published they’ll just come out with the full version of it. But they don’t normally do stuff like this on Sundays.
We are now just three weeks away from the launch of Destiny 2’s Witch Queen expansion, and promotion has shown us a decent amount of gear so far, but actual story beats other than the basics (the Hive have the light in Savathun’s Throne World) we really know very little about what’s to come.
Stay tuned for more, including probably an HD version of this trailer soon.
