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 inspired by iconic horror figures for the upcoming Festival of the Lost event. This year's Halloween event pits terrifying designs against each other, with options like Jason Voorhees (Titans), Ghostface (Hunters), and a Scarecrow Warlock for the Slashers, and the Babadook (Titans), La Llorona (Hunters), and Slenderman (Warlocks) representing the Spectres. Voting will determine which set makes its terrifying debut in October. Additionally, the previously unreleased Wizard armor from the 2024 event will become available during Episode Heresy.
However, the excitement surrounding these new cosmetic options is overshadowed by a growing wave of discontent within the Destiny 2 community. Episode Revenant, the current season, has been plagued by a significant number of bugs and glitches, impacting core gameplay mechanics such as the tonic brewing system. These persistent issues, coupled with a reported decline in player engagement and overall player count, have left many feeling frustrated. The announcement of the Festival of the Lost armor sets, ten months in advance, has only amplified this sentiment, with some players feeling the developers should prioritize addressing the game's current problems before focusing on future content. The community is eager for Bungie to acknowledge and actively address these concerns.
