Destiny 2 Unleashes Spooktacular Armor for Festival

Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Ghoulish Choice Amidst Community Concerns

Destiny 2 players face a chilling decision: choose between "Slashers" or "Spectres" armor sets in the upcoming Festival of the Lost event. Inspired by horror icons like Jason Voorhees, Ghostface, Babadook, La Llorona, and even Slenderman, these new cosmetic options are generating considerable buzz. The event allows players to vote for their preferred aesthetic, with the winning designs becoming available in October. The losing "Wizard" armor set from 2024's Festival of the Lost will also be made available during Episode Heresy.

The announcement, however, arrives amidst growing player frustration. While the new armor is exciting, many feel Bungie's focus on a distant event overshadows pressing concerns about the current state of the game. Episode Revenant has been plagued by bugs, including broken tonics and other gameplay issues, leading to declining player engagement and numbers. The community is seeking acknowledgment of these problems and a demonstrable commitment to addressing them.

The "Slashers" category features a Jason-inspired Titan set, a Ghostface-themed Hunter set, and a menacing Scarecrow Warlock set. The "Spectres" category offers a Babadook-inspired Titan set, a La Llorona-themed Hunter set, and the highly anticipated Slenderman Warlock set.

The timing of the announcement, ten months before the event, has also sparked debate. Many players believe Bungie should prioritize addressing the game's current issues before promoting future content. The contrast between the excitement for the new armor and the ongoing concerns about bugs and declining player base highlights a significant challenge for the Destiny 2 development team.
