Thankfully, starting The Witch Queen free trial is easy. All players have to do is start up Destiny 2 and the Throne World destination will be available to navigate to.
Here, Guardians will find The Enclave (Mars), Quagmire Florescent Canal, and Miasma regions. Each region has its own content, but The Enclave (Mars) houses the meat of The Witch Queen’s campaign.
