Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Ghoulish Vote and Growing Concerns
Destiny 2 players are gearing up for a spooky decision: choosing between two new armor sets for the Festival of the Lost event. Bungie is offering a "Slashers vs. Spectres" themed vote, pitting horror-inspired designs against each other. The Slashers set features Jason Voorhees (Titan), Ghostface (Hunter), and a Scarecrow (Warlock), while the Spectres set boasts the Babadook (Titan), La Llorona (Hunter), and Slenderman (Warlock). The winning set will be available in October. Adding to the excitement, the previously unreleased Wizard armor from the 2024 event will be made available during Episode Heresy.
Despite the anticipation for these new cosmetic additions, a shadow looms over the Destiny 2 community. Episode Revenant has been plagued by bugs and performance issues, including broken tonics and various gameplay glitches. While many of these issues have been addressed, player frustration remains high, with concerns about declining player numbers and overall engagement. The announcement of the Festival of the Lost armor sets, ten months in advance, has been met with mixed reactions, with some players expressing disappointment that Bungie hasn't directly addressed the game's current problems.
In short, while the upcoming Halloween event promises exciting new cosmetics, the underlying issues within Destiny 2 continue to fuel community concern. The vote for the new armor sets provides a temporary distraction, but the larger questions regarding the game's health remain unanswered.
