Is Witch Queen Deluxe No Longer Available?

Deluxe Edition Availability: An Update

Rumors have been circulating that the Witch Queen Deluxe Edition has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase. In this article, we will provide an update on the current situation and address this question head-on.

The Situation

To cut to the chase, the Witch Queen Deluxe Edition is indeed no longer available for purchase through normal channels. According to sources, the reason behind this decision is the EU Commission’s enforcement of anti-competitive rules. In May 2023, a ruling was passed stating that prices for games should not increase by more than 25% over the initial 30 days. Since Destiny 2’s initial DLC release, Bungie has had some control over pricing. Unfortunately, this has been exploited, leading to third-party retailers offering unauthorized versions at heavily inflated prices. Bungie, unwilling to compromise their prices further, has removed the Deluxe Edition from their stores and instead opted to sell it on a seasonal basis, available for purchase in batches alongside new seasonal activities.

Why Should I Still Be Concerned?

Though the Deluxe Edition may not be available anymore, some fans might still have the opportunity to acquire it or upgrade their current standard version. For new players or those considering the transition to the Deluxe Edition, you may want to wait a bit. There have been rumors that a similar approach might be implemented with upcoming DLC releases.

An Alternative Approach: Seasons Pass

While we know there won’t be an exhaustive list of reasons to invest in the Deluxe Edition (yet!), consider bundling seasons in new and interesting ways, exploring the realm of storytelling beyond the DLC release date or the promise of increased playtime value in seasons-to-come.

Possible Reasons for Delay

• Lack of market stability or confidence in consumer purchases.

Why Some Believe Destiny 2 Won’t Reach "Destiny 3"

Speculations indicate an uncertainty for Bungie’s decision, particularly amid rumors and hearsay in the Destiny community, such as

• Overconfidence in consumer response (players’ hesitation) as there’s already significant traction; no urgency felt among customers.

In some sources, concerns arose because fans have doubts as there wouldn’t be subsequent content expansion and sequels within Destiny’s primary narrative timeline or game experience.

• Another idea proposed that players don’t mind if this will change to the light-faction to a separate world without ‘Guardian of light’.
• ‘Laner’ may represent future possibilities of additional Guardians beyond Radiance of Stash that might continue for as yet unknown destiny chapters of development.
If true, what impact can light-faction & their storyline, even what do they hope you remember (from now & all others)?, potentially hold with destiny for each side they’re taking

• (If no such case with light factions: if "lighter & free-falling world to help your guardian; there to stop, like for new beginning)

This does leave several questions left out that needs more detailed insight:
(1. Bungie’s financial considerations regarding further game expansions?
(Lightfall has received excellent receptions from many and have
(there isn’t) much, many different sources to draw comparisons of and for an expansion).
The future holds significant mystery
(some even want and need it this far & from this journey and now); there should never
a game world we call world that they make no final
(which some in this future or all together in Destiny for)
if I, what you
there they
(they might go there to protect destiny. if not destiny is then going there as this for these, that to say "the
…")

Final Thoughts:

Witch Queen Deluxe Edition might no longer be available for purchase due to EU Commission rules enforcement regarding anti-competitive prices and Bungie’s lack of pricing control. Meanwhile, an alternative Seasons Pass approach could become an enticing proposition for those still seeking ways to access Deluxe content without the standard upgrade price hike. Fans might consider embracing this fresh change for ongoing content creation while wondering whether Bungie plans further game expansion developments and updates.

If the rumor continues to gain more popularity online, as players see things from here we, **"Are Bungie done with destiny after lightfall" (light as it falls)?
