Not that it was ever a secret, since the expansion’s title was revealed over a year ago. What’s more, the trailer for the expansion shows that she’s found a way to give your cosmic powers to the Hive, who are very happy to use them against you. Despite that, it’s worked in the game’s favor as she summons Guardians to chat every week. “We knew we wanted to give players face time with her and make sure they had a really good idea of who she was,” narrative lead Julia Nardin told GamesRadar. And that continued relationship, she hopes, will make things messy when it’s time to go gun-to-claw with Savathun: “There’s divide in the community about Savathun, which wanted! We want players to go into the expansion with mixed feelings, and not feel 100% sure that what they’re doing is the right thing.” Despite how often she refers to Guardians as her “friend,” it’s clear that Savathun is a queen of deception and takes some joy in fucking with everyone while she’s a giant paperweight. “All these characters that believe they’re moving forward by their own motivations are somewhat influenced by the Witch Queen,” writer Stephens said, ominously.
