Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Slasher vs. Spectre Showdown
Destiny 2 players are gearing up for a spooky choice in the upcoming Festival of the Lost 2025 event. Bungie is offering a community vote to decide between two distinct armor sets: Slashers and Spectres, each drawing inspiration from iconic horror figures. This year's event pits terrifying killers against ethereal specters, with designs ranging from Jason Voorhees and Ghostface to the Babadook and La Llorona.
The reveal, however, comes amidst a backdrop of community concern. While the new armor is generating excitement, many players express frustration with persistent bugs and a perceived decline in player engagement throughout Episode Revenant. Issues such as broken tonics and other gameplay glitches, though largely addressed by Bungie, have left a lingering sense of dissatisfaction.
The surprise announcement of the Festival of the Lost 2025 armor sets, ten months before the event, has sparked mixed reactions. While some appreciate Bungie's creative take on horror icons – with Titans channeling Jason and the Babadook, Hunters embodying Ghostface and La Llorona, and Warlocks donning Scarecrow and Slenderman-inspired armor – others feel the focus on a distant event overshadows the need to address the game's current challenges. The declining player base and persistent bugs remain significant concerns for a large segment of the Destiny 2 community. The inclusion of the previously unavailable Wizard armor from the 2024 Festival of the Lost event during Episode Heresy is a small consolation.
