Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Ghoulish Choice Amidst Community Concerns
Destiny 2 players face a chilling decision: choose between "Slashers" or "Spectres" armor sets inspired by iconic horror figures for the upcoming Festival of the Lost event. This year's Halloween event pits Jason Voorhees-inspired Titan armor and Ghostface-inspired Hunter armor (with a Scarecrow Warlock set) against the spectral might of Babadook Titans, La Llorona Hunters, and a Slenderman Warlock set. Voting will determine which terrifying ensemble graces the game when the event launches in October. Additionally, the previously unreleased Wizard armor from the 2024 Festival of the Lost will become available during Episode Heresy.
However, the excitement surrounding these new cosmetic options is overshadowed by growing concerns within the Destiny 2 community. Episode Revenant, the current season, has been plagued by bugs and glitches, including broken tonics that fail to provide intended buffs. These issues, coupled with declining player engagement and numbers, have fueled frustration among the fanbase. The announcement of the Festival of the Lost armor sets, ten months in advance, has been met with mixed reactions, with some players expressing disappointment that Bungie seemingly prioritized a future event over addressing the current state of the game. The community is eagerly awaiting a response from Bungie regarding these persistent problems.
