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. Bungie's reveal showcases designs inspired by horror icons like Jason Voorhees, Ghostface, the Babadook, La Llorona, and even Slenderman. Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks will each receive unique, themed armor. The winning set will be available in October. Additionally, the Wizard armor set, which lost the vote in the 2024 event, will be released during Episode Heresy.
This announcement, however, comes amidst a backdrop of growing community frustration. Episode Revenant has been plagued by bugs and glitches, notably broken tonics impacting core gameplay mechanics. Coupled with declining player numbers and ongoing issues, the community's overall sentiment towards the game's current state is notably low. The early reveal of the Festival of the Lost armor, while exciting for some, has been met with surprise and a desire for Bungie to address the more pressing concerns within the game itself. Many players feel the focus should be on resolving current issues rather than promoting a future event still months away.
In short, while the Halloween event promises thrilling new cosmetic options, the excitement is tempered by significant underlying concerns regarding the game's current health and stability.
