Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Ghoulish Choice for Guardians
Destiny 2 players face a chilling decision: choose between "Slashers" or "Spectres" themed armor sets in the upcoming Festival of the Lost event. Bungie's reveal showcases designs inspired by horror icons like Jason Voorhees, Ghostface, and even Slenderman, offering a terrifyingly stylish array of options. Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks will each receive unique armor, with the Titan Slasher set drawing inspiration from Jason, the Hunter from Ghostface, and Warlocks sporting a menacing Scarecrow look. Spectre options include a Babadook-inspired Titan set, La Llorona for Hunters, and, for the first time, official Slenderman armor for Warlocks.
This exciting reveal, however, comes amidst a backdrop of community frustration. Episode Revenant, the current season, has been plagued by bugs and performance issues, impacting player engagement and numbers. While Bungie has addressed some of these problems, the community is eager for more substantial acknowledgement and action. The focus on an event ten months away has further fueled this discontent, with many feeling the current game state requires immediate attention.
The voting process will determine which armor set – Slashers or Spectres – becomes available in October. Adding a silver lining to the current situation, Bungie confirmed the previously unavailable Wizard armor from the 2024 Festival of the Lost will be released during Episode Heresy. The upcoming event promises a thrilling choice for players, but the broader context highlights ongoing concerns within the Destiny 2 community.
