Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Ghoulish Vote and Growing Concerns
Destiny 2 players face a spooky choice: vote for new armor sets inspired by horror icons like Jason Voorhees and Slenderman in the upcoming Festival of the Lost event. This year's theme, "Slashers vs. Spectres," pits two distinct armor styles against each other, with Titans channeling the Babadook, Hunters embodying La Llorona, and Warlocks sporting Scarecrow and Slenderman designs. The winning sets will be available in October.
While the new armor is generating excitement, a shadow looms over the Destiny 2 community. The current season, Episode Revenant, has been plagued by bugs and performance issues, including broken tonics and other gameplay glitches. Although Bungie has addressed many of these problems, player frustration remains high, with declining player numbers and engagement adding to the concerns.
The announcement of the Festival of the Lost armor, ten months in advance, has further fueled the debate. Many players feel Bungie should be prioritizing addressing the game's current issues rather than focusing on a future event. The community is eager for acknowledgement of the game's current state and a plan to revitalize player engagement. The 2024 Festival of the Lost's Wizard armor will, however, be made available during Episode Heresy. This offers a small consolation to players currently experiencing frustration. The community awaits Bungie's response and hopes for a swift resolution to the ongoing problems.
