Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Spooky Vote and Community Concerns
Destiny 2 players are gearing up for a chilling choice in Festival of the Lost 2025. Bungie is letting the community vote on new armor sets themed around "Slashers vs. Spectres," featuring iconic horror figures like Jason Voorhees and Slenderman. This year's event offers Titans inspired by Babadook and Hunters by La Llorona, alongside other terrifying designs.
However, the excitement surrounding these new cosmetic options is overshadowed by growing player frustration. Episode Revenant, the current season, has been plagued by bugs and glitches, impacting core gameplay mechanics like the tonic brewing system. While many issues have been addressed, player numbers and engagement remain lower than usual, leading to concerns within the Destiny 2 community.
Bungie's announcement of the Festival of the Lost armor sets, ten months in advance, has further fueled this unease. Some players feel the focus on a future event ignores the current state of the game and the ongoing issues affecting their experience. The upcoming event will feature a choice between Slasher and Spectre themed armor sets, with designs inspired by horror icons such as Jason (Friday the 13th), Ghostface (Scream), the Babadook, La Llorona, and Slenderman. The losing Wizard armor from the 2024 Festival of the Lost will also be made available during Episode Heresy.
In short, while the prospect of new horror-themed armor is enticing, the overall sentiment within the Destiny 2 community is currently mixed, reflecting both anticipation for the Halloween event and significant concerns about the game's current state.
