Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Ghoulish Vote and Growing Concerns
Destiny 2 players are gearing up for a spooky choice in the upcoming Festival of the Lost 2025 event. Bungie has unveiled two competing armor sets: Slashers and Spectres, each inspired by iconic horror figures. Players will vote to determine which set makes its chilling debut in October.
The Slashers set features designs reminiscent of Jason Voorhees (Titans), Ghostface (Hunters), and a menacing Scarecrow (Warlocks). The Spectres set offers equally terrifying alternatives, with Titans channeling the Babadook, Hunters embodying La Llorona, and Warlocks finally donning an official Slenderman armor set.
This exciting reveal, however, comes amidst a backdrop of growing concern within the Destiny 2 community. Episode Revenant, the current season, has been plagued by bugs and performance issues, leading to declining player numbers and frustration. While Bungie has addressed many of these problems, the overall player sentiment remains subdued.
The announcement of Festival of the Lost armor sets, ten months in advance, has further fueled this discontent. Many players feel Bungie should be prioritizing addressing the game's current issues rather than focusing on a future event. The community is seeking acknowledgement of the ongoing problems and a clear roadmap for improvement. The addition of the previously unavailable Wizard armor from the 2024 Festival of the Lost to Episode Heresy is a small step, but many believe more substantial action is needed to revitalize the game.
Summary
- Destiny 2 players will vote on new horror-themed armor sets (Slashers vs. Spectres) for Festival of the Lost 2025.
- The sets feature designs inspired by Jason, Ghostface, Babadook, La Llorona, and Slenderman.
- The announcement comes amidst community frustration over bugs, declining player numbers, and the perceived lack of attention to current game issues.
