Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Spooky Vote and Community Concerns
Destiny 2 players are gearing up for a chilling choice: vote for new Festival of the Lost armor sets inspired by iconic horror figures. Bungie's "Slashers vs. Spectres" theme pits Jason Voorhees and Ghostface against the Babadook and La Llorona, offering unique armor designs for Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks. The coveted Slenderman armor set will also be available as a Warlock option.
While the upcoming Halloween event generates excitement, the Destiny 2 community grapples with ongoing issues. Episode Revenant, nearing its conclusion, has been plagued by bugs and glitches, including broken tonics and other gameplay problems. These issues, coupled with declining player numbers and engagement, have led to considerable frustration.
This year's Festival of the Lost armor reveal, announced unexpectedly early in Bungie's first 2025 blog post, has further fueled the discussion. While many appreciate the horror-themed designs – including a Scarecrow Warlock set for the Slashers – the early announcement, ten months ahead of the event, has overshadowed concerns about the game's current state. The community desires acknowledgement of the persistent problems and a path towards improvement. Additionally, the previously unavailable Wizard armor from the 2024 event will be released during Episode Heresy.
Summary
- Destiny 2 players will vote on new horror-themed armor for Festival of the Lost 2025, choosing between "Slashers" and "Spectres" sets.
- The "Slashers" category features Jason, Ghostface, and a Scarecrow, while "Spectres" includes the Babadook, La Llorona, and Slenderman.
- Despite the excitement surrounding the new armor, the Destiny 2 community expresses growing concern over persistent bugs, declining player base, and a lack of direct developer response to these issues.
