Summary
Destiny 2 players can vote on new Festival of the Lost armor sets inspired by horror icons like Jason Voorhees, Ghostface, and Slenderman. The 2025 event pits "Slashers" against "Spectres," with Titans sporting Babadook-inspired armor and Hunters donning La Llorona-themed gear. Despite the excitement surrounding the new armor, the Destiny 2 community expresses growing frustration over persistent bugs and declining player numbers.
Bungie unveiled the upcoming Festival of the Lost armor sets, allowing Destiny 2 players to vote for either the "Slashers" or "Spectres" themed sets featuring iconic horror villains. This announcement coincides with the final act of Episode Revenant, offering players a narrative conclusion alongside new loot like Slayer's Fang.
Episode Revenant's launch, however, has been marred by numerous frustrating bugs and issues. Problems with tonic buffs, among other gameplay glitches, have negatively impacted player experience. While Bungie has addressed many of these issues, player sentiment remains low due to the ongoing problems and overall state of the game.
In an unexpected twist, Bungie's first 2025 blog post revealed the Halloween event's armor sets. This year's Festival of the Lost theme, "Slashers vs. Spectres," draws inspiration from various horror icons and urban legends. Player votes will determine which set becomes available in October. Bungie also confirmed the return of the 2024 Festival of the Lost's Wizard armor set during Episode Heresy.
Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost 2025: Iconic Horror Villains Take Center Stage
The "Slashers" category features Titan armor inspired by Jason from Friday the 13th, Hunter armor reminiscent of Scream's Ghostface, and a sinister Scarecrow set for Warlocks. The "Spectres" category offers Titans Babadook-inspired armor, Hunters adorned with La Llorona attire, and a highly anticipated official Slenderman armor set for Warlocks.
While many players appreciate Bungie's interpretation of these horror icons, the early reveal of an event ten months away surprised some. The community expressed concern over the lack of acknowledgement regarding the current state of Destiny 2, citing declining player numbers and a surge in bugs and other issues compounding the frustrations associated with Episode Revenant.
