Spooky Armor Emerges for Festival of the Lost

Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Haunted Choice for Guardians

Destiny 2 players face a chilling decision: choose between "Slashers" or "Spectres" themed armor sets in the upcoming Festival of the Lost event. Bungie's reveal, nestled within their first 2025 blog post, showcases designs inspired by horror icons like Jason Voorhees, Ghostface, Babadook, La Llorona, and even Slenderman. This year's event pits these terrifying styles against each other in a community vote determining which set makes its debut in October. The losing Wizard armor from the 2024 event will receive a second chance, becoming available during Episode Heresy.

The announcement, however, hasn't been met with universal enthusiasm. While the new armor designs are exciting, many players express frustration over ongoing issues within Destiny 2. Episode Revenant has been plagued by bugs, including broken tonics and other gameplay problems, leading to a decline in player engagement and overall community satisfaction. The focus on a Halloween event ten months out has further fueled this discontent, with some players wishing for more immediate attention to the game's current challenges.

The Slasher category boasts Titan armor reminiscent of Jason, Hunter armor channeling Ghostface, and a creepy Scarecrow Warlock set. The Spectre category offers a Babadook-inspired Titan set, La Llorona for Hunters, and a highly anticipated official Slenderman Warlock set. The community's response to these designs is mixed, with excitement for the unique aesthetics tempered by broader concerns about the game's health. The upcoming vote promises a thrilling choice, but the underlying tension highlights a need for Bungie to address the current issues impacting Destiny 2's player base.
