Destiny 2 Unveils Spooky Armor for Halloween Event

Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Ghoulish Vote and Growing Concerns

Destiny 2 players will soon cast their votes for the next Festival of the Lost armor sets, choosing between "Slashers" and "Spectres" designs inspired by iconic horror figures. This year's event pits terrifying villains like Jason Voorhees and Ghostface against the equally spooky Babadook and La Llorona, offering players a choice between two distinct stylistic approaches. Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks each receive unique, themed armor sets.

While the upcoming Halloween event generates excitement, a shadow looms over the Destiny 2 community. Episode Revenant, the current season, has been plagued by bugs and performance issues, leading to declining player numbers and widespread frustration. Broken mechanics, such as malfunctioning tonics, have further fueled player discontent. Although Bungie has addressed many of these problems, the overall sentiment remains negative.

Bungie's announcement of the Festival of the Lost 2025 armor sets, ten months before the event, has been met with mixed reactions. While some appreciate the early reveal and the creative horror-themed designs (including a highly anticipated Slenderman Warlock set), others express concern that Bungie is deflecting attention from the game's current issues. The lack of acknowledgement regarding the declining player base and persistent bugs has only intensified existing anxieties within the community. The detailed breakdown of the Slasher and Spectre armor sets, with their clear inspirations from Jason, Ghostface, Babadook, La Llorona, and a Scarecrow Warlock set, has not fully quelled the community's concerns about the game's overall health.
