Destiny 2 Reveals Horror Themed Armor Sets for Festival of the Lost 2025

Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Ghoulish Choice with a Side of Frustration

Destiny 2 players face a chilling decision: choose between "Slashers" or "Spectres" armor sets in the upcoming Festival of the Lost event. This year's Halloween event features designs inspired by iconic horror villains, allowing players to vote for their preferred aesthetic. The options include Jason Voorhees-inspired Titan armor, Ghostface-themed Hunter gear, and a Scarecrow Warlock set for the Slashers; while Spectres offer a Babadook Titan, La Llorona Hunter, and a highly anticipated Slenderman Warlock set.

While the new armor is generating excitement, a significant portion of the Destiny 2 community expresses growing concern over persistent bugs and a noticeable decline in player engagement throughout Episode Revenant. Issues such as broken tonics and various gameplay glitches have fueled frustration, overshadowing the anticipation for the Halloween event. The announcement of Festival of the Lost armor, ten months in advance, has further amplified this sentiment, with some players feeling the focus should be on addressing current in-game problems rather than a future event. The inclusion of the previously unreleased Wizard armor from the 2024 Festival of the Lost event during Episode Heresy is a small consolation.

The upcoming vote highlights a dichotomy within the Destiny 2 player base: thrilling new cosmetic content juxtaposed against ongoing gameplay frustrations. Whether Bungie can successfully address these concerns while maintaining player enthusiasm remains to be seen.
