Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Ghoulish Vote and Growing Concerns
Destiny 2 players are gearing up for a spooky choice: vote for their preferred armor sets in the upcoming Festival of the Lost event. Bungie has unveiled two competing styles, "Slashers" and "Spectres," each drawing inspiration from iconic horror figures. The Slashers set features Jason Voorhees-inspired Titan armor, a Ghostface-themed Hunter set, and a menacing Scarecrow Warlock armor. The Spectres option offers a Babadook-inspired Titan, La Llorona-themed Hunter armor, and, perhaps most excitingly, an official Slenderman Warlock set.
This year's Halloween event promises thrilling new cosmetic options, allowing players to vote to determine which set will be available in October. Adding to the excitement, Bungie announced the return of the 2024 Festival of the Lost's Wizard armor set during Episode Heresy.
However, amidst the excitement for new armor, a palpable undercurrent of frustration runs through the Destiny 2 community. The current season, Episode Revenant, has been plagued by numerous bugs and gameplay issues, impacting player engagement and leading to a decline in player numbers. While many bugs have been addressed, the lingering problems and overall negative player sentiment are overshadowing the upcoming Halloween event announcement. The community expressed surprise at Bungie's focus on an event still ten months away, hoping for some acknowledgement of the game's current state and the ongoing issues.
Summary
- Destiny 2 players will vote on new horror-themed armor sets (Slashers vs. Spectres) for Festival of the Lost 2025.
- The sets include designs inspired by Jason, Ghostface, Babadook, La Llorona, and Slenderman.
- Despite the event announcement, negative player sentiment persists due to ongoing bugs and declining player numbers in Episode Revenant.
