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 Festival of the Lost armor sets, themed "Slashers vs. Spectres," featuring designs inspired by iconic horror figures like Jason Voorhees, Ghostface, Slenderman, and La Llorona. Titans can choose between Jason and the Babadook, Hunters face off between Ghostface and La Llorona, and Warlocks can select from a Scarecrow or Slenderman aesthetic. The winning designs will be available in October. Additionally, the previously unreleased Wizard armor from the 2024 event will finally be accessible during Episode Heresy.
This announcement, however, comes amidst a backdrop of community frustration. While the new armor is generating excitement, many players remain concerned about persistent bugs and a perceived decline in player engagement within Destiny 2, particularly during Episode Revenant. Issues such as broken tonics and other gameplay glitches, though largely addressed by Bungie, have contributed to a less-than-positive player sentiment. The early reveal of the Festival of the Lost armor, ten months in advance, has also raised eyebrows, with some players feeling it overshadows the need for addressing the game's current challenges. The community is hoping for a more direct acknowledgement of these issues from Bungie.
Summary
- Destiny 2 players can vote on new horror-themed armor sets for Festival of the Lost 2025, choosing between "Slashers" (Jason, Ghostface, Scarecrow) and "Spectres" (Babadook, La Llorona, Slenderman).
- The 2024 Festival of the Lost's Wizard armor set will be released during Episode Heresy.
- Despite the upcoming event, the Destiny 2 community expresses ongoing concern about in-game bugs and declining player numbers.
